Train your app's bouncer — a delightful journey into customized authentication from the developer's point of view.
CityJS Athens 2024

Abstract

Whether we're there or only know it from the media, sometimes bouncers guide entry, e.g. to a club or a conference. "You shall not pass" is a quote you might have heard of. Our web application might also have bouncers - granting entry to projected pages or not. However, this is not the typical authentication journey you might expect: Join me on a small but delightful journey to train the bouncer by using a customized authentication - from the eyes of the developer building it. Customizing login experiences doesn't need to be a drag, after all.
