Thessley security projects

Safer sign-in and security tools for the systems you run.

Thessley brings together phone-approved sign-in, computer access tools, and modular WordPress security. Each project has its own requirements and release status.

Projects

Tools for people who manage their own websites, computers, and sign-in systems.

Phone approvals

Thessley Passkey

Approve compatible sign-in requests from websites and computers with your phone. The Android app supports QR codes and approval links, with biometric confirmation for signing requests.

Android availability: version 0.1.11 is available as a direct APK download. Google Play testing remains a separate distribution route.

Computer access

SSH, desktop and VPN approvals

Companion tools add phone approval to supported SSH and computer sign-in flows. Windows packages include the approval service, a local HTTPS admin page, and setup guides.

The Ubuntu OpenVPN integration checks a separate client certificate and then requests a time-limited Thessley QR approval for every connection and reconnect.

For Ubuntu 24.04, install the signed Linux package from the APT repository hosted on the Orange Pi 5, or download the source archive. Windows packages are also available, with installation guidance and checksums.
