Passwordless Authentication for Linux: A Secure Future
Linux admins,
Linux admins need to adopt modern authentication methods for their users. They are foundational for building trust, securing user data, and driving business growth. What are the options available for passwordless authentication methods like biometrics and one-time passcodes? Authentication tools should be easy to implement and configure for users across the organization and include great community support. Tools like Supertokens are gaining traction as open-source solutions that balance transparency, flexibility, and security.
Read on to learn more about how to choose which modern authentication methods are best for you.
Yours in Open Source,

Optimizing Login Security: Enhancing User Experience and Safety

You have probably signed into a service and felt that mix of relief and irritation. Relief that your account is safe. Irritated that it took so many steps to get in. The line between secure and annoying can be thin, especially when users expect everything to work instantly.
If you add too many security layers, people may get frustrated. If you don’t add enough, you risk becoming the next headline for a breach. Did you know that nearly 60% of users abandon an app or site because of a poor login experience? That’s a huge loss for something so early in the journey.
Let's break down how you can keep your authentication strong without slowing people down.
What Is A Virtual Private Network (VPN)?

Suppose you're managing a Linux environment, on-prem or in the cloud. In that case, chances are you've already tangled with questions of network security: firewalls, SSH hardening, package integrity checks — all the usual suspects. But Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)?
They often get relegated to the "nice-to-have" rather than "must-have" category. This is where things get murky, and complexity creeps in. VPNs aren’t just for corporate networks or privacy-obsessed individuals trying to bypass regional restrictions. They’re critical tools in safeguarding sensitive data, offering protection that boosts privacy, secures remote access, and mitigates attack vectors. Before we dive into practical advice, let’s start with a common question: How does VPN security actually work?
