Modern Authentication with WebAuthn

I’m so excited for this talk! These standards were just coming out when my tenure as Manager of the IAM team was coming to a close. If I may butcher a great movie quote. "Passwords are old and busted, Passkeys are the new hotness"

Speaker: Jade Philippe

Title: Modern Authentication with WebAuthn

Abstract: More websites are giving us the option to get rid of passwords and use Passkeys instead. In this talk, you will learn about the Webauthn authentication standard and Passkeys. You will also get to see WebAuthn in action with a demo Ruby on Rails project.
