Passwords are not going away, so make them easier on users. PLEASE!
There is no risk analysis or business case to explain or justify the replacement of passwords everywhere. Passwords are here to say, period. Most of us are getting more accounts & passwords month by month, with varying policies that includes weird requirements, suspicious limitations and bad UX start to finish.
This is not a talk filled with code, but filled with examples of do's & and don'ts from more than 23 years of obsession into passwords & digital authentication. An obsession which started with a domain admin at a Fortune 500 company using "password" has hen's password.
The intended audience is pretty much anyone who design, develop, operate & secure any type of authentication that involves passwords, from simple pin codes to passphrases.
