Taylor R Campbell:  FIDO and Webauthn on BSD: Authentication for the easily distracted 
Webauthn is taking the world by force. Can BSD keep up? And when did the internet's guard dog trade the terrifying name of Kerberos for a fluffy friendly name like Fido?

This talk will present:

    why you, too, should use FIDO to thwart phishing with the press of a button;
    what makes FIDO different from the bad old days of unusable, impenetrable hardware crypto tokens;
    squirrel;
    recent developments in the webauthn landscape and on the BSDs; and
    nifty tricks you can teach FIDO to do beyond just logging you into gmai1.com.
