OAuth, "It's complicated." (Interview)

Published August 23, 2021 4:30pm

Today we’re joined by Aaron Parecki, co-founder of IndieWebCamp and maintainer of OAuth.net, for a deep dive on the state of OAuth 2.0 and what’s next in OAuth 2.1.

The conversation begins with how Aaron experiements with the IndieWeb as a showcase of what’s possible.
