Hanko vs OctoPrint
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Hanko and OctoPrint — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Hanko vs OctoPrint: at a glance
What is Hanko?
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
What is OctoPrint?
OctoPrint 2.0 is on its seventh release candidate, still with no final date.
OctoPrint 2.0 makes serial one connector among several, including Moonraker and Bambu, and removes deprecated plugin APIs. Release candidates have arrived every few weeks since April: rc5 in August fixed config and schema regressions, and rc6 and rc7 in October carried only the standard warning that a candidate may need a manual downgrade.
Hanko vs OctoPrint: editorial side-by-side
Hanko
0.0INFRA · APIS
Hanko maps SAML and OIDC attributes into custom claims, a step toward enterprise SSO.
◆ Current state
Hanko is a passkey-first authentication platform, open source or cloud-hosted. October's update lets teams bring attributes from SAML and custom OIDC connections into Hanko as custom claims, configured in the Cloud Console. Earlier 2026 releases added Firebase password hash import, inactivity logouts, session transparency and stronger passcode policies.
◆ Where it's heading
Hanko is filling in what enterprise customers expect from an identity provider: SSO attribute mapping, session controls and migration paths from incumbents. Releases arrive monthly or less, each with a narrow feature.
◆ Prediction
More enterprise SSO features, such as directory sync or role mapping from claims, are the likely next additions; the entries do not confirm a timeline.
OctoPrint
5.0INFRA · APIS
OctoPrint 2.0 is on its seventh release candidate, still with no final date.
◆ Current state
OctoPrint 2.0 makes serial one connector among several, including Moonraker and Bambu, and removes deprecated plugin APIs. Release candidates have arrived every few weeks since April: rc5 in August fixed config and schema regressions, and rc6 and rc7 in October carried only the standard warning that a candidate may need a manual downgrade.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.0 line is in a long stabilisation, with each candidate fixing regressions and asking testers to cover the new connectors. The thin notes on rc6 and rc7 suggest the remaining changes are small.
◆ Prediction
A 2.0.0 final is likely within a few candidates; the exact date is unclear from the entries.
