I have leaked an API key to GitHub previously. Sat up spent Sunday panicky turning credentials and reviewing access logs. The error saved me a whole library on API authentication than any tutorial would. Authentication is no longer an option…
I have created enough systems to authenticate to know that within the current state of things, tokens have been omnipresent, and the vast majority of developers are not adequately informed of the existence of the underlying mechanics. Another incident that…
I do not come here to preach you about password security. You’ve heard it all before. However, this is one of the things that can actually catch your eye, which is the possibility of enabling Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) that can…
You see, I wasted much too much time not understanding these three protocols before it dawned on me. Everybody throws round “SAML” and OAuth and OpenID connect like they are similar, yet they are not. All of them address a…
I have more than 20 years of experience in logging to websites, and I would honestly say that I did not think much about how bad passwords were until I began to notice how authentication is actually implemented. The process…
You know, I just was telling you the truth, I had spent too long thinking authorization and authentication were practically identical. They are both about access, they both have a technical sound, and quite frankly. The majority of articles describe…

I have been using iPhones since 6S and I have seen this tendency occur within the last several years. Your phone is alright, and then at some point it becomes faulty. A new iOS is released, functions are hidden away…
See, I spent three weeks experimenting with AI-based money-making techniques and this is the reality of it all; the majority of these articles advertise the claim that you will get rich by Tuesday. Spoiler: you won’t. Nevertheless, upon delving through…
Honesty, I used to believe that AI only included robot taking over the world. Then I did actually bite into it – underestimated so, was I. To make it non-technical, I would like to break down what AI is, its…
This is what could go wrong: Clair Obscur Expedition 33 won the Game of the Year 2024, then the team was celebrating, and then a news broke that the developers have used AI in the process. By the time the…
Look, I’ve been there. You are excited about the new season drop, you are off your evening, have snacks packed, when you get a bang. Maintenance server is down. Personally, I would get rather hysterical about Fortnite downtime, but here…
