    Is there any existing mechanism (even if not widely deployed) that would allow a user to use an IDP with an RP dynamically (i.e. without a pre arrangement between the RP and the IDP)?
    Aaron Parecki
    Dynamic Client Registration, but afaik no major provider supports this because they *want* RPs to have a pre-established relationship.

    We built IndieAuth to avoid the need for any client registration and it works great for that use case: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web

    At the end of the day, OAuth is just a way to communicate between services and users, and as such it's easy to grasp and non-controversial.

    OAuth solved a universal problem – signing into a web site – and, in doing so, created a new problem: how does a site know it's really you?

    what I usually say to speakers is a rough title and 3-4 bullet points of what you want to cover as a start-I think why it's challenging is folks try to "sell" the talk from the get go, rather than refine the focus, then worry about selling it
    Aaron Parecki
    here you are trying to be actually helpful and I've just gone and set up a new parody twitter account @wtf_oauth

    now back to work, let me actually read this now 😅

    I got something about avoiding pricing overheads from Netflix and YouTube, without mentioning pricing, Netflix or YouTube. There’s definitely a hit list

    I think copy.ai has it out for Khan Academy

    "I want to start a company based around making great educational content on truly complex concepts like OAuth. Think Khan Academy but also feel like you're talking with an expert."

    That would very likely get me a better result than feeding this AI 3 sentences and having it come up with comedy gold like this:

    "OAuth is like having the Facebook app on your phone, but you are using the same password that you are using for everything else."

    Give the same talk repeatedly.

    I actually mostly do, but for this one I want to branch out and approach things differently

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.
