Welcome to Authentication Hell
Every morning, millions of people start their work day by entering passwords and answering push notifications to gain access to the tools they need for their job.
In this talk, I will answer the question that no one is asking: what would a video game be like if all the mechanics revolved around authentication.
Authentication Hell is a browser-based game built around one of the most hated aspects of our daily lives: re-authentication. Each time you take damage during the game you lose more than just your health, you will have to re-authenticate.
This talk will cover the development of the game using DragonRuby, how to implement popular authentication mechanisms like passkeys and one time passwords, and will include a demo of the game.
You can check out the game at authenticationhell.com.
