My farewell letter to passwords and why our relationship is not working anymore.

A Farewell Letter to Passwords

carla_urrea

I've been working as a software engineer since 2014, particularly as a backend engineer and doing system design. I consider myself a language-agnostic developer but if I had to choose, I like to work with Ruby, Python, and Elixir.  

After realizing how fun it was to create content and share experiences with the developer community I made the switch to Developer Advocacy. I like to learn and work with new technologies. 

When I'm not coding or creating content you could probably find me going on a bike ride, hiking, or just hanging out with my dog, Dasha.

WebAuthn - A Short Introduction

Viktor Petersson

Viktor, a seasoned entrepreneur, initiated his journey in the business world during his college years. His first venture, YippieMove, emerged as a pioneering email migration service, setting the stage for his future successes. Demonstrating a keen sense for uncharted territories, Viktor then co-created Blotter, a productivity app for macOS that not only was bootstrapped but also climbed to the top 10 in the Mac App Store before its discontinuation. <br>

Prior to the widespread adoption of remote work spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic, Viktor had already recognized the transformative potential of a decentralized workforce. He leveraged this insight to lead his early ventures, particularly Blotter, towards prosperity as bootstrapped operations, embracing remote-only models long before they became a global norm. <br>

Following these successes, Viktor co-founded Screenly, where he currently leads as a visionary. Screenly, also a bootstrapped venture, was created with the ambition of developing the world’s first developer-friendly digital signage product. Under Viktor’s stewardship, the company has introduced revolutionary products like Anthias, the top-ranked open source digital signage solution, and Screenly’s flagship offering, which now powers over 10,000 screens globally. Viktor’s innovative mindset and relentless entrepreneurial spirit continue to propel the digital signage industry into the future.

Our Take on Verifiable Credentials

I’m a Senior Developer Advocate at Auth0, and I like to work on various technologies. I’ve developed software for all sorts of platforms, from CD-ROM and the PalmPilot to my current area of focus, mobile phones, IoT devices, and AI. When I’m not looking for strange new platforms to write software for, I’m playing a strange old instrument — the accordion!
