It should be noted that SHA256 and other SHA functions are not well suited for password hashing and storing because of the efficiency of attacks. Functions like Argon might be more adequate solutions.

Also this is because a password hashing algo should include some work factor which would slow down dictionary or rainbow-table attacks, If Argon2 isn't available then PBKDF2, Scrypt or Bcrypt should be used instead.

Boring stil sounds complicated. For a 15 minute video, you had to fast forward through MFA and didn’t even mention protection from repeated login attempts, keeping logs of every access, session expiration… It really is what happens when you roll your own auth, it’s hard to do everything right.

If you're just using them as an Auth Provider (authn) it's not necessarily a big deal if they shut you out as you could just switch auth providers or even have a small "roll your own version" like this video on standby just waiting for the day the primary auth provider fails. -- It becomes a big problem if you're depending entirely on a third party to perform as your Identity Provider (authz) because then they have all of your account data, all of your permissions configuration, etc. -- And getting cut off from that is extremely problematic and not really recoverable unless you're maintaining a complete replicated system on-prem.

I really appreciated the video. I would really like to see the server code to handle the little demo you provided. I used your video in a presentation to the team/clients to explain why we do need more than a simple cleartext password, but don't need/want a big external framework. They still haven't approved the plan, but they commented that the video extract that I shown them were easy to understand.

Also when implementing passkeys take the time to change some (quite bad) default parameters. Namely the platform and resident key parameters. The current standard requires passkeys to be resident keys, thus not requiring a username and allowing single click logins. This excludes hardware keys as they have limited storage (8 to 25 slots) for those keys. By setting resident keys to optional or encouraged you get best of both worlds, allowing passkey storage on device, password manager and security keys. The only drawback being programming in an optional username field.

Most perfect answer is: Don't reinvent the wheel. Auth is just more than authentication. What about password resets, 2FA, etc. etc.? I like to refrain from third parties that I cannot host on my own due to privacy for my users. I like to build APIs using headless CMS systems that come with all that right out of the box, such as Directus.

I use AWS Cognito with the built-in hosted UI as a default auth for my apps. I just need to implement a few endpoints (I have a template for this) to navigate to/from the hosted UI. It's great, I don't need to worry about MFA, social sign on, email verification, cost or the liability of leaking data. If AWS gets hacked, I'll be the least interesting product that's affected. Liability is also the main reason many companies choose to outsource authentication. Don't have to put out a press release if AWS/Auth0/Okta/etc is hacked, but you do if your own self-hosted database is.

Sha-algs aren't made for hashing passwords, you should use something that's made for that, like argon2 or bcrpyt. Cracking a sha256 hash, while right now is unfeasable if salted, still makes you more vulnerable to wordlist attacks, as you can test more than 1.000.000x as many hashes per second compared to bcrypt

Are you suggesting that it’s unfeasible right now due to hardware limitations but that in the future salted and hashed passwords can be easily cracked by just guessing BOTH the pw and the salt? I would just generate a 30+ char salt and hash it with the pw and keep increasing the salt char limit as hardware limits grow. If a bad actor wants access to my stuff THAT bad id rather waste his time and resources trying to unhash that than point their attention to easy targets.

The problem with passwords is the user. Most users use the same password everywhere which means their password is already known by 3rd parties. You are right the big companies are terrible to work with. Some governments are solving this problem by offering an authentication option. You already use your drivers license as ID in real life. In some places you can use it online.

"The checks will have to be tied together with the source in both the chip and software to block log output from being there" Something like that. You can always add logs to x86 or Arm after if you have that understanding. If they have added encryption and more things in their version that was added after and their software looks for that, that action of looking for those things to be there will be in the chip logs if you replace the chip with yours. You can make it tedious to do and add encryption everywhere and what not, but it is there on the other end looking. The core of the computer is run by Canada and any software can be run without the extra added bits. You will always be able to figure out what is missing in your chip and either remove the request or add what is being looked for. The purpose to adding a log and a signal to activate it is you can bypass any of these checks completely as it will be a signal activating that request and not any keyword requiring a system. "It is not tied to a system."

Hope you keep on reading on which hashing algorithm to use (e.g. not SHA-256 but something like bcrypt), secure password recovery flows (not as done here) with timeouts, add password/account change notifications, require reauthentication for critical account actions (like deletion, password change, changing the email), implement confirmation emails when the email is changed, have good password policies (requiring passwords longer than 12 chars, don't require special characters but instead encourage users via a strength meter that takes into account various factors a good password, check passwords against commonly breached passwords and block those, ensure unicode characters are supported, you implemented rate limiting, soft lockouts, IP-adresse based rules such as sudden location changes, ensure no cross site request forgery attacks are possible and much much more! Password login is NOT easy, understanding how salting works does not qualify you to build your own login system. It's a start and an important one, but please keep digging and understanding what else you need to do to build a secure authentication system!

The problem with auth is that the issues are never simple things like which hashing algorithm you use, where/if you store passwords, do you use JWTs or opaque tokens, etc. The problems are always hidden in the cracks inbetween, AKA your own code. The reason why most people use 3rd party auth handlers like Firebase Auth is not because it's too much of a hassle to setup your own password auth + oauth flow (it really isn't), but because Firebase is simply more secure. The client SDK automatically rotates refresh tokens and throttles auth actions, the admin ADK automatically provides rate limiting, password resets, one-time logins, MFA, oauth, etc. If you are really scared of vendor lock-on or Firebase getting killed by Google, you can always run a self-hosted Supabase instance, or if you just need auth and nothing else, Keycloak.

This video does a great job explaining the concepts of how auth works, but if you’re building anything of consequence, you absolutely should use a proper auth provider. They provided a ton of additional features that you’re missing here. Impossible travel, bot detection, suspicious ip, new device check, locking users, JWT, refresh tokens, session timeouts, user roles and permissions, and more. You could build that all, but most of those are simple toggles you turn on or off in the auth provider settings. Not to mention that they have been battle tested over the years, and so will be more secure than anything you would likely custom build. I do like the video as it does a great job explaining how a lot of the auth process works, but I cringe thinking about real companies rolling their own auth

Sidechannel attacks, phishing, breaches, compromised networks, human errors.. are just _some_ methods that can be used to extract password. The point is not about comparison, the point is everything around it that makes them less secure.

You can also use salt and hashing on the client side, so that raw password is never transmitted to the server

@@arjentix The “raw password” is transport-encrypted anyway, so you don’t gain anything. You only add complexity to the client side (where and how do you store the salt?) and the server side (now needs a different kind of protection against time-based side-channel attacks).

@@RegrinderAlert yes, it's transport-encrypted, but you may need another security layer to protect user data from workers. You don't need to store salt on the client side, you just send it to the server. I didn't get the idea of the side channel attacks on the server side

@@arjentix It’s not another layer of security because it adds absolutely nothing unless your transport-encryption fails. And in that case you are compromised anyways - even using your approach. The server now expects a hash instead of a password - so what? If encryption failed the attacker just uses that to log into your victim’s account instead of a password. And what do you mean, “the client doesn’t need to store the salt”? Of course they do. “They just send the salt” - again, what do you mean? Also, what workers are you referring to? You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding regarding the topic of password hashing.

Why not just use an open source self-hosted authentication system like Ory Kratos? I don’t see how adding a dependency for this is bad seeing as they’d do a better job with security than almost all developers. Implementing everything perfectly to that degree would be a huge time investment for most companies to replicate in-house and often isn’t worth it

Note to anyone reading this: don't use Kratos, the documentation is a nightmare and it's a PITA to implement

This is such a dangerous video it skips on so much topics necessary for building a secure password login system. I agree if you only need passkeys building it on your own might be worth it, though passwords need a lot more care to be secure! And if you need to go into offering SAML or OIDC login it gets even more complicated... I honestly don't want to use any service built by this person... Sorry I value my account's security too much

Great video! I always found it interesting that we even bother with passwords for the first example. If you're going to implement a password recovery, why not just send a unique token to the user's email rather than storing and verifying a password at all? It might be an extra step each time to go to your email, but it offloads the burden of password management to your email provider and removes extra code that you'd have to write in order to cover both password authentication and "forgot password" flows.
