    I also think the hotel key isn't as useful for ocaps as a car key, because people often think of a hotel key as being associated with your identity, and a car key isn't.
    Aaron Parecki
    ..but a hotel key explicitly isn't associated with your identity, which is why the analogy works! You know how you get multiple keys when you check in, and it's expected that any guest of the room can use them?

    i have been complaining about this for years wrt oauth! it's how Iearned about valet keys. Maybe they're totally normal to some, but it smells of privilege somehow...
    Aaron Parecki
    I never liked the valet key analogy, especially as someone who only briefly owned a 1985 Volvo and now owns 0 cars. I use a hotel key analogy in my talks, which I think is more relatable, but I am still looking for an analogy that doesn't require as much privilege to relate to.

    I'm calling this product launch #2 of the summer. A (currently) niche #indieweb reader: https://alltogethernow.io

    Harking back to the glory days of RSS readers, but with a more modern, social twist.

    On my way to Montreal to talk about OAuth #ietf105! Crossing my fingers the connection at Newark goes well despite the impending thunderstorms.

    I have some time free while I'm there this week, so if you're in the area and want to grab coffee let me know!

    Hi Aaron, quick question regarding OAuth flows. In the developer track at the London Okta forum, it seemed that a web SPA should use Auth Code with PKCE (and generally avoid using implicit flow)? However the Okta documentation seem to suggest otherwise? Not sure how to proceed?
    Aaron Parecki
    The docs and libraries are still in the process of being updated, but you can find some sample code here: https://developer.okta.com/blog/2019/05/01/is-the-oauth-implicit-flow-dead

    So I prefer to talk about relationships by their contents rather than their label "This is a person I do kissing & video games with" as opposed to "this is my friend/girlfriend/husband"

    Ive just realised this is an Entity-Component Model as opposed to a Class Hierarchy Model.

    Phrases that mean so much more to me after starting to milk goats: kick the bucket, crying over spilled milk and a drop in the bucket.

    Especially tonight when Taffy kicked the bucket three times!!!

    Fun fact: NTSC was copied from aliens with a different base time duration, which is why it’s 29.97 frames per second.

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.
