Still really genuinely angry at how much the passkey rollout has fucked up the flows for anyone using a security key.

Fuck forcing people to set pins on hardware tokens. Fuck defaulting to allowing a hardware token to log in without the password. Fuck making every mobile device you own a first class token and making login attempt spam a thing again.

I get that passwords are broken. I don't have a problem with the idea behind passkeys as such for less-technical users (although fuck vendor lock-in and non-portable credentials), but do not fuck over technical users trying to protect critical systems by breaking their workflows or destroying basic security primitives.

There are a lot of cursed computers things but this is the most cursed computers thing

FWIW... a bit more then 10 1/2 years ago I asked some people on twitter I did not know if I could help to make this bsides thing happen aside to ccc congress in hamburg, because congress had more good submissions for the security track then they could host.I was so scared, about all of it. But I wanted to help to make it happen, and I did. And it was one of the better things I did in my life because It started some development I could not have imagined at the time.

Lots of stuff changed over the years, the core people, the label, I changed, and so on... had the possibility to meet many interesting people over the years
It's called #elbsides by now, it's not parallel to ccc anymore for years, it's even at a different time of the year.

Tomorrow we will have another episode loaded with super interesting talks. We ware sold out since yesterday. ~180 seats in hall. It kind of blews my mind.

now  and tomorrow 

Can't wait until next Friday for Elbsides 2025 to happen.
Don't miss this opportunity to get inspired, informed and connect.

We are nearly sold out - register now to be part of the #ITSecurity community in #Hamburg on June 13th.
