Hi, I'm Aaron, 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.

Happy final Daylight Savings Time Eve to all our friends in British Columbia! I hope we can join you on the other side soon! -
I'm setting up a temporary laptop for my next trip and it's shocking how much faster the cross-device passkey flow is compared to looking up and hand typing my long 1Password passwords

If you’re struggling to get AI agents past enterprise security reviews, join me tomorrow for a session on how Cross App Access (XAA) brings managed authorization to MCP!
I'll be joined by Sohail Pathan to show off our Cross App Access playground and give a live demo of how the protocol works!

Inspired by some #indieweb folks creating /caw pages on their websites, I made one of my own! Here you can listen to the most recent crow recorded from my house:

How Does This Work?
Would you like to use your own domain to be part of the Fediverse? Rather than finding an existing Mastodon instance to join, you can turn your own website into an ActivityPub profile like this one! Some of these options are more complicated than others, but the links below will get you started in the right direction.
- Micro.blog is a fully-hosted service you can run on a custom domain or subdomain, and provides ActivityPub integration out of the box.
- Bridgy Fed converts your existing website to ActivityPub using Webmention, h-entry and Atom.
- Install a plugin for your WordPress or Drupal website.
- Nautilus is an open-source proxy server you can run independently from your website.
- You can self-host a single-user instance of ActivityPub-compatible software like microblog.pub, WriteFreely, or Mastodon.
If you want to go full DIY, you can implement ActivityPub into your own website! I started by following Eugen's guide here.
