| Abstract | Alex Willmer - Taking the pain out of passwords and authentication
Passwords are a pain for us all - programmers, users and admins alike.
How can we reduce that pain, or eliminate it entirely?
This talk will
- Review research into techniques that improve the usability of
password systems, and mitigate shortcomings
- Introduce the new standards Universal Authentication Framework
(UAF) & Universal Second Factor (U2F)
- Describe how they streamline authentication, even eliminate
passwords entirely
- Show how to integrate UAF/U2F in Django and other Python frameworks
- Summarize the state of support for UAF & U2F in browsers, devices,
and the wider world |
