Have you ever struggled with remembering passwords? Well, 78% of people have reset at least one password every 90 days because they forgot it. And this demographic shows that 60% of people also stop trying to access an app because they forgot their password. And this is based on the Fido Online Authentication Barometer report. Now have you heard of the term passkeys but have no idea what it really means? Passkeys are nothing but a digital credentials stored on a user's device that is used to log into website or an app without needing a password. Passkey can be a fingerprint or face ID or a pen stored on your phone. Passkeys can also be hardware authenticators, not just digital. For example a Yubikey. These are hardware security tokens that you can insert into your devices USB port. That's great, but why are passkeys important? Passkeys are safer and more secure than traditional passwords. They can help with many things that passwords lack and such as protecting against phishing attacks. Because passkeys are not stored on servers, users can't be tricked into authenticating a website or an app that isn't registered. I'll get more into that in a second, but passkeys also reduce the risk of server breaches because developers only save a public key on the server, and the private key is on the user's device itself. There's not enough information for a hacker to just use the public key. And most of all, passkeys are easy to use. They do not require anyone to remember. Any sort of password. They can just enable an authenticator on their device to generate a passkey. Now, how exactly do passkeys work? It's actually much simpler than it sounds. An authenticator, like your mobile device or some password manager, will create two cryptographic keys for each account that you create. A cryptographic key is basically a string of bits that is used to encrypt or decrypt some data. When put into a cryptographic algorithm this way, the data seems random and undecipherable, so the authenticator generates 2 keys. A public key and a private key. The public key is stored on the website that you create your account on, and the private key is stored on your device. So when you sign into your account, your device and the site communicate to unlock your login data. There's no actual data shared in this process because your private key is simply just decrypting what is stored on the public key. So hackers can't use this information to access anything. Yes, they can technically access the public key, but that information is useless without the private key being there to decrypt it. Like I said before, this eliminates the risk of phishing attacks because even if a user is taken to an illegitimate website, their passkey won't be prompted to sign in. This is because pass keys are bound to the websites or apps that they're originally created on. So no hacker can steal your passkey the way they can with the password. Many big companies whose products you may use on a day-to-day. Places are using passkey support such as Apple, Google, Amazon, eBay, etcetera. If you would like to learn more about pass keys, you can check out these blogs on these Scopes channel and also sign up for a free forever account if you want passkey authentication in your app.

Day 5️⃣: Learning User Authentication in Bubble.io 🔑 Today I made more progress with the Bubble.io YouTube course, focusing on: User Authentication: I explored how to set up login, forgot password, and reset password flows. It’s fascinating how easily Bubble allows you to manage user credentials and security while keeping it all simple and visual. Floating Group: I learned how to create elements that stay in place as you scroll, which is perfect for things like sticky navigation bars or call-to-action buttons. It was a slower day since it’s the weekend, but every small step counts! Onward and upward! 💡 #NoCode #BubbleDevelopment #UserAuthentication #WeekendLearning

📌 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐱 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧 8 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬 - 𝐀𝐍 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖 𝐅𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐄 - - - 🟠 Step 1: Power On! Just like turning on a light, powering up your computer kicks off a process called BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) or UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface). 🟠 Step 2: Checking the Essentials Next, the BIOS/UEEFI performs a roll call of the computer's essentials—CPU, RAM, and storage devices. It's like checking if all players are present before starting a game! 🟠 Step 3: Picking the Boot Device Now, the computer must decide where to start the booting. It could be the hard drive, a network server, or even a CD ROM. It's like choosing which door to open to enter a room. 🟠 Step 4: GRUB Time! Here comes GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader). This is a friendly menu that lets you choose which operating system or specific settings you want to boot into. Think of it as a restaurant menu for your computer. 🟠 Step 5: Kernel & User Space Once you've made your choice, the kernel (core of the operating system) gets ready. Then, we switch to the user space where systemd, a kind of manager for the system, takes over. It sets up everything else like hardware and file systems. 🟠 Step 6: systemd In Charge systemd isn't just a manager; it's the default one that activates when the system boots. It ensures everything runs smoothly and other required components are started. 🟠 Step 7: Running Startup Scripts Now, the system runs a series of startup scripts. These are like instructions to set up and configure the environment. 🟠 Step 8: Ready to Log In! Finally, you'll see the login window, Welcome! And there you have it - from a quiet machine to a fully operational system, ready for your commands. If you're interested in levelling up in your tech interviews or you want to take your career to the next level, I'm putting together a community to help you do just that! Stay tuned! #linux #devops #interviewtips

3/4 PRs of Hacktoberfest Sharing my third contribution for Hacktoberfest with Oppia! 🎉 🌱 Progress Update: Successfully completed 3 out of 4 pull requests! Issue: https://lnkd.in/gWWZZ6u5 PR: https://lnkd.in/g3A5n_JQ 🔧 Tech Stack: Worked with Angular. 🔍 Skills Developed: One of the bugs I had my eye on since the day I started contributing to Oppia was a tricky one with a high impact on the application. The issue? When navigating to any page using the hamburger menu, the page wouldn’t scroll! This bug had me stumped for a while—I couldn’t pinpoint the root cause despite multiple attempts. But I was determined to crack it. Finally, after a long struggle and a lot of analysis, it clicked! I figured out what was going wrong and implemented a solution. 🎉 I’ve now submitted a PR and am waiting for feedback from the community. Who knows? Maybe there’s an even better approach, but I’m excited to have taken a big step forward in resolving this! But the battle isn’t over—those test cases still feel like they’re plotting against me. Tackling them, one slow step at a time. #Hacktoberfest2024 #OpenSource #PR2of4 #Frontend #CSS #HTML #Typescript #Bug #Oppia #LearnInPublic Kunal Kushwaha Harkirat Singh Akshay Saini 🚀 Piyush Garg
