Replit launched Repl Identity, a new authentication system that provides a PASETO token via the REPL_IDENTITY environment variable. This token allows developers to verify users who run apps from a repl's cover page without requiring passwords or additional login steps, enabling features like high score tables and chat. The system uses a chain of trust with public keys and supports custom verification in any language with a PASETO implementation.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://replit.com/blog/repl-identity:

> You can now see a new environment variable appear in your repls - REPL_IDENTITY . This is a PASETO token, signed by our infrastructure, that includes verifiable information about the repl.
