      I once had to respond to a security audit that included a code scan. The scanner red flagged any variable called password or secret, or various misspellings thereof.

      You could store the password, you just had to name the field โ€œdonottellanyoneโ€ or something.

      But they base64 encoded it, so thatโ€™s OK, right?

      @aaronpk did they also use a DHTML script to block right-clicking so nobody can view the source of the page?

Hi, I'm Aaron Parecki, Director of Identity Standards at Okta, and co-founder of IndieWebCamp. I maintain oauth.net, write and consult about OAuth, and participate in the OAuth Working Group at the IETF. I also help people learn about video production and livestreaming. (detailed bio)

I've been tracking my location since 2008 and I wrote 100 songs in 100 days. I've spoken at conferences around the world about owning your data, OAuth, quantified self, and explained why R is a vowel. Read more.
