Six Ways to Do Authentication Better

There are a lot of problems with how auth is done in today’s web, from insecure login flows to frustratingly difficult UX that confounds real users and lowers conversion. This talk introduces authentication concepts, techniques, and UX flows which you can leverage to revamp your application and delight your users.

Julianna will touch on specifics such as deliverability and provider stability of email magic links; better multi-factor authentication flows like just-in-time, TOTP, and WebAuthn rather than SMS; and modern upgrades to passwords, including automatic passwordless after failures, human centric reset flows, and strength checking done right.

If you are looking to decrease friction in the authentication flow to improve conversion, this is the talk for you. Join Julianna from Stytch, the authentication platform for developers, to learn six ways to do authentication better.
