The Secret History of Login
Joey deVilla, Senior Developer Advocate, Okta
Synopsys: If you’re reading this, the chances are very good that you’ve logged into a system or resumed a session where you logged in earlier. It’s a common enough occurrence that most of us don’t think about it unless we’re in a hurry or if we can’t remember our username/password combination.
Logging in is new enough that there are still many people alive who knew the world before usernames and passwords, yet old enough that it’s developed some problems that will take time and effort to solve. This talk will tell the strange story of how login grew from a last-minute hack to become part of our daily experience,. Along the way, you’ll get an overview of some of the ways it’s been implemented, the popular software movement it inspired, how it inspired both a software movement and a whole new category of crime, and some best guesses about its future.
Biography: A Toronto-to-Tampa transplant, Joey has developed applications and done developer relations for over 20 years at many places, including Tucows, Microsoft, Shopify, and now Okta. He’s published mobile apps on Google Play and Apple’s App Store, and while at Microsoft, he tried really hard to make Windows Phone happen. He publishes the “Tampa Bay Tech Events” list every week on his tech blog, Global Nerdy, and is rarely seen without his trademark accordion, which he thinks of as “social hardware.”
