May I help by providing all the questions that I ask myself after being new to and diving into the OpenId Connect subject?

Yes that would be great! Feel free to send me a link to a blog post or write me an email!

Thanks, what are the implications of storing the tokens in the browser? Is Auth Code Flow with a backend server much more secure?

yeah, having a backend is much more secure. I feel like this needs to be my next blog post.

@oktadev @oauth_2 @aaronpk What is the current OpenId Connect recommendation for a SPA without a dedicated backend, is it Auth Code Flow + PKCE in Browser?
#oauth #openidconnect

Yep exactly, I wrote some sample code for doing that here: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/05/01/is-the-oauth-implicit-flow-dead

Taxis are officially superior to ride sharing services again. They are often faster, the drivers are more professional, and they usually know where they are going.

Only the taxis that have their own ride-hailing app! Once taxis started adding ride-hailing and payment via the app, then they're basically all the good parts of Lyft and none of the bad.

I still continue to have a bad time with old-school taxis. The last trip I took the driver asked me to pay in cash but I didn't have enough, so he took $20 cash and the rest on the card, which just feels sketch.

I also just learned that store-and-forward packet switching was also referred to as "hot potato routing", which, why is it not still called that??

2. Another hotel franchise, even in another city, could issue a keycard to that same person. Possession of that keycard from another hotel franchise (IdP) does not allow the holder to access *any room* for that person at any hotel (relying party).

1. Possession of the hotel keycard does *NOT* in any way prove you are the person who checked into the room it grants access to. Nobody should use the keycard to try to figure out who the person is.

I like this analogy!

A couple things that could make it better, especially for those who misuse/abuse OAuth for authentication:

@aaronpk years ago, I wrote a little script that automatically converted a Keynote deck into individual PDF files (one per slide, vector, scalable) and then created a PPTX file out of the result. Not editable, obviously, but a nice shortcut. Sadly, I can’t find the script anymore!

that's.... ridiculous and fantastic

I just refuse. You can have pdf if you (quite reasonably) don’t want keynote.

Keynote is just a better authoring environment than PowerPoint. And my choice of tool needs to be optimized for me, the author and not someone else’s desires.

unfortunately it's going into a deck with a bunch of other slides womp womp
