Working Code Podcast - Episode 026: Passwords
Tags:
This week, the crew talks about passwords. Web applications store a great deal of sensitive information. But, there is something categorically different about storing passwords. Because - if compromised - a password from one application may grant a malicious actor access to another application. As such, it is essential that we store our customers' passwords using modern, one-way hashing algorithms that protect the underlying payload against increasingly powerful compute resources. And, that we have a way to evolve our password hashing strategies in order to stay a step ahead of potential attackers.
Of course, sometimes the best password hashing strategy is to not store a password at all. Using a "passwordless login" allows you to pass the responsibility of password storage off to another, trusted vendor.
Also, we've been doing this podcast for half-a-year! How awesome is that! Yay for us!
