Say Goodbye to Passwords and Hello to WebAuthn

About this presentation

<p>Identifying ourself to access social media, banking details, and every aspect of our online life is something we do potentially dozens of times a day.</p> <p>But as the nearly ten billion leaked account details documented by "';--have i been pwned?" attest, this process has a fatal weakness–passwords.</p> <p>The Web Authentication API (or WebAuthn) is a standard from the W3C and FIDO that "allows servers to register and authenticate users using public key cryptography instead of a password". WebAuthn is part of a set of standards that enable passwordless authentication between servers, browsers, and authenticators. It's supported in all modern browsers.</p> <p>In this presentation Ben Dechrai will outline how the technologies work, and how you can take advantage of them today to create a far more secure experience for your users.</p>
