About Locke
We're building software that treats identity the way it should be treated: as something you own, not something you rent.

The Beginning
"I spent about 40 percent of my time resetting student and faculty passwords. I knew who everyone was—but the computers didn't."
Before Locke, Connor was the sole systems administrator for a college. The job was supposed to be about keeping things running smoothly but instead it was mostly passwords.
The computer system didn't understand users the way humans do. A teacher standing right in front of you, clearly who they say they are, locked out because they forgot a string of characters.
