Single Sign On

Single Sign-On (SSO) is an authentication process that allows users to access multiple applications or services with one set of login credentials—typically a username and password. Instead of having to log in separately to each application, users authenticate once through a central identity provider, which then grants access to connected systems. This approach simplifies the user experience by reducing password fatigue and improving productivity, as users no longer need to manage multiple accounts or remember numerous passwords. SSO also enhances security by centralizing authentication and allowing for more robust controls, such as multi-factor authentication and centralized monitoring, thereby reducing the attack surface for potential breaches.

Strange password policies

We all have passwords, and the volume of passwords we need to manage is not slowing down. Most of the sites we interact with have some sort of a password policy that forces you to go through a process of trying to create them. I have written about this before.

Things I don't like about AWS

Last Updated: 2024-06-09

Full disclaimer – I am an Amazon Web Services fanboy. I love their cloud offering and I proudly hold 3 AWS certifications. Through my day job, I am also getting exposed to Azure. Yes, I know – Azure is a swear word amongst Amazonians, but the reality is that many companies do dabble in multi-cloud strategies. Some cloud providers are better at some things than others, and some features are just nicer than others, so with that, I decided to start putting a list together of some of the cool (and not so cool) features I have spotted on both platforms.
