It’s frustrating how many doctors’ offices I go to that are forging so many different, but often concerning paths to “modernizing” data mgmt. How did we get to a place where asking patients to digitally sign consent forms they aren’t provided felt like a solution?

So it begins: just touched down in SFO for a little pit stop before the rest of the “tour” - if anyone has recommendations for things to see (or more importantly, eat) in < 24 hours, lemme know!

There’s a path for everyone passionate about digital identity standards with Vittorio’s award. Newcomers go to IIW, and experienced standards architects can fund their participation with key standards development organizations. Applications still open, please apply or share!

The best part of going to Japan and finally getting to visit the Pokémon centers I dreamed about as a kid is that I now have adult money to go be stupid with.

Me: "I'm losing faith in SSI. Why is adoption so low?" Internet identity community:

So excited for the Rog Ally X that I might trade in my beloved brick Legion Go. If future iterations boasted detachable controllers too, and a larger screen size still in lightweight format, Asus would clearly be leading the pack. techradar.com/gaming/pc-gami…

#FIDO q2 plenary is a wrap and I feel great about where we landed and where we’re going. We’re heading to Tokyo to catch our flight back to the US, to see many of the same colleagues again next week at #Identiverse. kaiju.bsky.social said “it’s like summer camp”, and I can’t disagree!

I’m so looking forward to sharing insights from our journey to require #MFA for AWS customers tomorrow Identiverse. If you’re trying to have similar conversations in your org, swing by - hope it helps!

We need to call a meeting. Someone on this plane (high turbulence) is painting with open tins of paint on their tray table. I feel like in terms of shameful things to do on a plane this is somewhere below clipping your toenails but above taking your shoes off (*with socks on).

Last week, I got to tell the #identiverse community a bit about the strategic dimensions of successfully influencing an organization to enforce MFA. But why work hard without some fun? Capped off the week with a helicopter ride through the Grand Canyon - what a beautiful treat!

How I know I’m not done with NYC: after 6 weeks around the world, seeing the silhouette of the Empire State Building crest over the horizon still fills me with the sense of warmth and gratitude that it always has. Even if the traffic doesn’t. Nearly back to my own bed!

Raising the bar for security is inherently customer obsessed. I am so pleased to share both the expansion of our MFA requirements, and the launch of #passkeys for AWS IAM. Everyone should use some form of MFA, and now, it’s even easier to pick the most secure option. Use #FIDO2!

Strong security can be hard to grasp—but with #AWS, it’s all within reach. 💻☁️🔒 AWS Identity & Access Management supports passkey as a second authentication factor—so you can use your fingerprint, face, or pin for more secure sign in across devices. 🔗 go.aws/4aWGxaX
