Talk comments

I appreciated the historical part. It would have been nice to talk about a an example project using the modern structure you proposed.

This talk turned me from hating passkeys to being kinda OK with them. So, max marks for that.

I agree with some other comments, though, that too much time was spent breaking down existing methods to justify passkeys. It's good content, but could have been condensed to make more time for going deeper on passkeys.

A nice reminder that concise doesn't mean its good code. Great notes to keep the our code in a better format for everyone.

Thanks for your presentation. I going to try to create a database schema chart from the model files in my application.

Good content, and I agree with 90% of it, even if it's not ground breaking. Unfortunately the unreadable code on slides undermined the points. A talk like this thrives on good examples, and I couldn't tell if the examples were good or not.

Thanks for your presentation and examples. I'll be sharing this with my team.

This was a great overview with the different authentication methods broken down into where they succeed or fail based on whether or not they are approached with:
- Forgetfulness
- Laziness
- Gullibility
- Technical Competence

Passkeys aim to resolve the problems with the above. The talk shows the shortcomings of it currently, but also outlines where it aims to go in the future. Passkeys are the future!

I would say that the Authenticator/Client/Application slides have some pretty small text, but the Auth0 demo that followed this section illustrated it pretty clearly. Like Ralf mentioned in these reviews, there could have been a bit more of a demonstration around how passkeys could be integrated into an application with PHP, but there were plenty of resources at the end to get started with this

I'm going to have to share Serde with my team. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Great slides. Great content. Engaging pace. Great job taking something really complicated and distilling it down.
