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

    Iโ€™m on the train, and the chap in the seat behind me is on the phone to his bank. He has just gone through security verification. I know his name, date of birth, motherโ€™s maiden name, address, and all the account details. Donโ€™t be this guy. Heโ€™s an idiot. #privacy #security ๐Ÿ˜–

    Since it's apparently OAuth week (yes I just made that up), this is your periodic reminder to review what third-party apps have access to your accounts!

    I'm not gonna say JSON Web Tokens are *bad* (if used properly), but I'm also not gonna say they're *great* either.

    Here's an interesting alternative though: PASETO

    API security touches upon various different topics. I am discussing a couple of common #API #security pitfalls at the @OWASPLondon meetup tonight. Here's an extended slide deck, with a ton of useful information. https://buff.ly/2N7ySAz

    Come say hi tonight, and share this info!

    Hey @facebook, demanding the secret password of the personal email accounts of your users for verification, or any other kind of use, is a HORRIBLE idea from an #infosec point of view. By going down that road, you're practically fishing for passwords you are not supposed to know!

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.
