Description

You've managed to build your login box and integrate your authentication system with Auth0 by Okta, so what's next? Join us on an exploration beyond the traditional confines of the login box, where you'll understand how to leverage Auth0. We start by looking at the concept of authentication, how we usually prove who we are online, and why passwords are a thing of the past, and with that, we'll introduce passkeys, a leading-edge passwordless solution. We recognize that each organization is unique and has its own needs in the authentication process- highlighting flexible features like Actions, custom prompts, custom fields, and more. We'll look at authorization as we unpack its role as the gatekeeper of user permissions. Finally, we spotlight Okta's pledge to enhance developer productivity, preparing us for the challenges of the future. This keynote encourages developers to see beyond traditional login methods and embrace new, flexible, and cutting-edge solutions for managing Identity.

Fortifying Auth0: How to configure an Auth0 tenant to deter hackers

Speakers

Amin AbbaspourSenior Manager, Professional ServicesOkta
Description

Auth0 is a cloud solution for outsourcing customer identity and access management (CIAM). Like any other cloud provider, it follows a shared responsibility security model, meaning Auth0 customers play an essential part in the overall security posture. This talk shows how Auth0 customers can follow simple guidelines to improve the platform's security and stop hackers.

Integrate your app into the enterprise

Speakers
Aaron Parecki
Aaron PareckiSecurity Architect Group ManagerOkta
Description

Enterprise customers don't want their employees logging in to your app with a password. Instead, they expect your app to integrate with their environment by supporting Single Sign-On (SSO.) In this session, you'll learn how your enterprise customers use OpenID Connect to let their employees sign in to apps like yours.

Description

In less than six months, Okta upgraded one of our largest private cloud environments from a limit of 1,500 requests per second to 10,000. We did this with a series of zero-downtime upgrades while streamlining efficiency and optimizing infrastructure costs. On top of that, we were migrating hundreds of our private cloud environments to our new, more resilient, converged infrastructure platform. In this session, developers will take away practical advice that they can use in their own journey to higher scale, greater resilience, and streamlined efficiency.

Using Auth0 by Okta to create low-friction user journeys

Aaron Smalser
Aaron SmalserPrincipal Product ManagerOkta
Description

When building consumer applications, reducing end-user friction is one of the most strategic problems developers must solve, as this is key to customer acquisition, customer engagement, sales, and revenue. This year, the Auth0 product unit has been rethinking how end-user login, sign-up, and password reset flows can be built to reduce friction, improve the end-user experience, improve conversion rates, and more. In this session, you'll learn how to: Build login flows that accept phone numbers, usernames, email addresses, or any combination of them. Build sign-up flows that collect end-user information only when it is needed. Build password reset flows that use authentication factors other than the email address. Extend the sign-up, login, password reset, and MFA enrollment experiences with custom code

Description

Passwords are a problem for consumers. 47% of people state that passwords are inconvenient and frustrating to use. 61% believe they are inherently insecure. Phishing increased in 2022 and is one of the most popular social engineering attacks by threat actors.

The web's Identity crisis

Speakers
Angie Jones
Angie JonesVP, Developer RelationsTBD
Description

In this talk, Angie Jones discusses and demos Web5, an open-source decentralized web platform that returns ownership and control over data to individuals where it belongs. It does this by providing a new layer for the web that enables developers to build decentralized apps and protocols. And because the platform abstracts away the complexity of decentralization, developers are free to focus on building great things that push the web forward.
