Everything You Want to Know About WebAuthn

Authentication is a sneaky problem - the most secure options don't usually have widespread adoption, especially among consumer applications. But what if we could fix that? Narrator: we can. WebAuthn is a somewhat new authentication standard that uses our everyday devices like phones and computers and turns them into phishing-resistant security keys. It almost sounds too good to be true. This talk will dig into how the technology works, when you can and should use it, and how to get started. We'll dig into why this isn't widely adopted yet and if or when we can expect it to be. You'll walk away with a better understanding of a new authentication channel and possibly some hope for a more secure future.
