This is a hugely requested feature for many years and a huge hole in my entire self hosted ecosystem. Every self-hosted app I have connects to my Authentik system for user management… Except home assistant. Arguably one of the apps I need it for the most for the whole family to use with their accounts.
Devs have been resistant for some reason.
There is now a community integratation that allows user management for HA to be via any openID backend (authentik, keycloak etc).
I’ve been running it for a few days and it works perfectly. Very easy to setup if you already have a working authentik setup and know how to use it with other apps like immich.
Do you know of how it compares to the option that’s been around for a while?

I see they say “seamless”; the extant one requires a different landing page and it doesn’t remember logged in browser well. So on the face of it, this sounds better.
But the one linked has had many more eyes and is made by the person who made a big stink on the forums https://community.home-assistant.io/t/open-letter-for-improving-home-assistants-authentication-system-oidc-sso/494223
For the ease teased, I’ll prob check it out though
