6. How can we fix it? Password managers help Password strength meters (zxcvbn) help Two-factor authentication helps But why require a password at all?
8. A PHP Example Defer to a 3rd party for email & validation Use the SlimPHP framework for quick bootstrapping Allow either password or password-less authentication
9. Authentication Provider Free developer preview Powers both link-based and push-based auth Supports PHP (and other langs)
10. Endpoints $app->get('/', function($request, $response, $args) {
 // Render index view
 return $this->renderer->render($response, 'index.phtml', $args);
 }); $app->get('/register', function($request, $response, $args) {
 // Render registration view
 return $this->renderer->render($response, ‘register.phtml', $args);
 }); $app->get('/authenticated', function($request, $response, $args) {
 // Render protected view
 return $this->renderer->render($response, ‘authenticated.phtml', $args);
 });
11. Endpoints $app->get('/authenticated', function($request, $response, $args) {
 if ( 
 ! isset( $_SESSION['username'] ) || 
 ! $this->users->get( $_SESSION['username'] ) 
 ) {
 return $response->withRedirect('/?error=notloggedin');
 }
 
 // Render protected view
 return $this->renderer->render($response, ‘authenticated.phtml', $args);
 });
12. Endpoints $app->any('/login', function($request, $response, $args) {
 return $response->withRedirect('/?error=invalidlogin');
 }); $app->get('/logout', function($request, $response, $args) {
 session_destroy();
 
 return $response->withRedirect('/?loggedout');
 });
14. Middleware class PasswordAuth {
 private $c;
 
 public function __construct($cont) {$this->c = $cont;}
 
 public function __invoke($req, $res, $next) {
 $user = $req->getParam(‘username’);
 $pass = $req->getParam(‘password’);
 
 if (empty($u) || empty($p)) return $res = $next($req, res);
 
 if ($this->c->validAuth($user, $pass)) {
 $_SESSION[‘username’] = $user;
 return $res = $res->withRedirect(‘/authenticated’);
 }
 return $res = $res->withRedirect(‘/?error=invalidlogin’);
 }
 }
15. Endpoints $app->any('/login', function($request, $response, $args) {
 return $response->withRedirect('/?error=invalidlogin');
 })->add(new PasswordAuth($container));
16. Endpoints $app->any('/login', function($request, $response, $args) {
 if($request->getParam(‘magiclink’) && $request->getParam(‘username’)) {
 $user = $this->users->get($request->getParam(‘username’));
 $sent = sendMagicLink($user->email);
 
 if(‘ok’ === $sent[‘return’])
 return $response->withRedirect(‘/?message=checkemail’);
 }
 return $response->withRedirect('/?error=invalidlogin');
 })->add(new PasswordAuth($container));
17. Middleware class MagicLinkAuth {
 private $c;
 
 public function __construct($cont) {$this->c = $cont;}
 
 public function __invoke($req, $res, $next) {
 $toznyo = $req->getParam(‘toznyo’);
 $toznyr = $req->getParam(‘toznyr’);
 
 if (empty($toznyo) || empty($toznyr)) {
 $res = $next($req, res);
 } else {
 if ($this->c->validLink($toznyo, $toznyr) {
 $user = $this->c->users->getUserFromLink($toznyo);
 $_SESSION[‘username’] = $user->username;
 $res = $res->withRedirect(‘/authenticated’);
 }
 }
 return $res;
 }
 }
18. Endpoints $app->any('/login', function($request, $response, $args) {
 return $response->withRedirect('/?error=invalidlogin');
 })->add(new PasswordAuth($container))->add(new MagicLinkAuth($container));
19. What just happened? Registered users can authenticate with their password Registered users can request a secure, one-time login link sent to their inbox The application doesn’t care which way the users authenticate
20. How does this benefit us? One less password for users to remember More flexible authentication schemes for existing users The middleware stack could be further extended to support TOTP/HOTP/ U2F/etc
21. What are the risks? Your users’ accounts are only as secure as their email
22. Questions?
