Passwords are the bane of my existence, and I'm sure they're yours too. We're constantly burdened with creating complex passwords, forgetting them, resetting them, and eventually settling for something simple (and weak), leaving us vulnerable to account takeover attacks from credential spraying and phishing.

As developers, we have the power to rid the world of passwords and provide better authentication experiences for our users. Passwordless forms of authentication exist, but they're flying under the radar due to a lack of awareness and education. It's time to shine a light on them.

In this talk, you'll learn about the existing forms of passwordless authentication (webAuthn + passkeys), and leave with knowledge of how you can start adopting them into your products.
