“Passkeys,” the secure authentication mechanism built to replace passwords, are getting more portable and easier for organizations to implement thanks to new initiatives the FIDO Alliance announced on Monday.

      At one point the organization I work for had a password that was literally Password-022!, guess what it was the following month?

      I had to start hashing passwords and sending it to the haveibeenpwned API.

      I also fight with my users over data normalization because any time I add some rule (like don’t put “SO#” as part of the value of the “SO#” field), they’re too stupid to realize the point and find some other “hack” around it.
