    Googlers should be required to develop their apps on 5 year old computers with a network connection capped at 1mbps with 100ms latency. On this flight today I've tried to use Gmail, Google Flights, and Adsense, and they are either ridiculously slow or just don't work.

    Approaching version 1.0 of Meetable, my open source events website. Today I worked on streamlining the installation process for Heroku, and it’s now installable in under 5 minutes, no command line required! Try it out! https://meetable.org

    @github any update on when users will be able to edit OAuth scopes?

    This page says it's coming in the future https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/basics-of-authentication/#checking-granted-scopes

    This page says it's currently possible https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/understanding-scopes-for-oauth-apps/#requested-scopes-and-granted-scopes

    I tried a test case and it doesn't appear to be live yet.

    I like to think of myself as a somewhat organized person.

    But all these SD cards have photos and videos from different trips and projects and cameras, in no particular order, and I really need to sort out what has already been backed up and what exists only on the cards.

    oh no, please tell me this help article from Facebook is just way out of date...

    https://www.facebook.com/help/249817848463304

    "Why am I being asked to enter my email login information while trying to reset my Facebook password?"

    They can't still be doing this, right?

    I often talk about the tradeoffs between local and remote access token validation in my OAuth presentations. This blog post by my coworker is a nice demonstration of that in PHP! https://developer.okta.com/blog/2020/01/15/protecting-a-php-api-with-oauth

    I'm working on a 2020 revision to my book, OAuth 2.0 Simplified!

    https://oauth2simplified.com

    If you find a typo or other error that I am not already aware of, I will send you an OAuth cat sticker! Send me an email or DM with details if you find something!

    The confusing part about online security is knowing *when* it's safe to give your SMS two-factor auth codes to a third party.

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.
