    Security questions are never the right thing. Don't let the infosec bullies resort to ableist (good memory much?) tactics because they suck at UX. ❤️

    Not to kick the can down the road, but we wouldn't even provide the option of a security question if people didn't ask for it 😦

      (fwiw, we're working on a really awesome auth flow for conde that is custom-built because all the vendors big enough to support us are busy selling horses)

      I think what you do in that case is point to another vendor who will happily sell horses...

      "my horse broke its leg trying to keep up with the car" "we told you that would happen!" "but what I want is a horse that's biologically identical to a regular horse that goes as fast as the car and for as long but doesn't get hurt when it tries. can you do that?"

      sometimes you have to sell faster horses until people realize what they actually want is a car 😄

      You *know* that's like Ford offering fast horses that will run alongside the car... 😜

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.
