Nobody wakes up in the morning hoping to finally identify crosswalks and fire hydrants that day. Yet every day, we prompt users through hoops and loops to sign up and log in. It’s about time we change that!
Authentication is a tricky subject. There are so many terms floating around us, from 2FA to MFA to OTP — and it might be difficult to make sense of what we need and when we need it. But authentication is everywhere, and sometimes it’s extremely frustrating causing massive costs for customer service, and sometimes it’s simple and seamless.
In this session with Vitaly Friedman, UX consultant and creative lead behind Smashing Magazine, we’ll dive deep into the remote trenches of security and authentication UX. We’ll discuss how to make security more user-friendly, current authentication methods, social sign-in, passwords, passphrases and password managers, two-factor authentication (2FA), MFA, SSO, one-time-passwords, QR codes UX, passwordless authentication, password recovery, security questions and how to deal with CAPTCHAs.
