You Shall Not Pass: Logging in to Input Constrained Devices

Have you tried to log in to an internet service using a TV remote control? Down, down, right, select. Right, right, right, up, select. Eventually, you get to the end, and you got a typo somewhere.

This is the plight of the "Input Constrained Device", and your job is to make your user not hate you.

In this presentation, we'll take a look at current authentication flows, and discover one that's designed to side-step the need for clumsy input devices altogether. We'll also put theory to the test with a live coding demo, with one lucky audience member unlocking the proverbial fridge!
