rel-authn is a link relation that can be added to your rel-me links to indicate you want to use them as an authentication option in RelMeAuth.

How

Add rel="me authn" to the links you want to be used as an authentication option:

<a href="https://github.com/aaronpk" rel="me authn">github.com/aaronpk</a>

IndieWeb Examples

• indielogin.com has supported rel-authn since it launched in 2018:

If any of your rel="me" links also include authn in the list of rels, then IndieLogin.com will only use the links with authn, and will no longer consider your plain rel="me" links as authentication options. https://indielogin.com/setup#choosing-auth-providers

• https://auth.hawx.me/ has supported rel-authn since ????-??-??:
