heylogin: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

heylogin is a password manager for individuals and companies that works without a master password. Users confirm logins with a swipe in the iOS or Android app, or with FIDO2 security keys, Touch ID, Windows Hello or smartwatches. Browser extensions for Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge detect login forms and fill in credentials. It supports passkeys, TOTP codes and edit history; company features include user and team management, roles, an audit log and data breach monitoring. It is delivered as a cloud service with apps and extensions. According to the vendor, login data is encrypted with keys held in the security chip of the user's devices, and heylogin cannot read the vaults.

heylogin GmbH is based in Braunschweig, Germany. Production runs on Hetzner servers in Nuremberg with a standby in Falkenstein, backups are stored at IONOS, and the vendor says it uses only European subprocessors. It states that it is ISO 27001 certified and GDPR compliant. The product is not open source. No non-EU parent company is named.

Why digital sovereignty matters with heylogin

heylogin is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so heylogin scores best on data residency.

heylogin is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs heylogin together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
