It's been about a year since the Auth0 Japanese office released a humorous, educational Anime clip about MFA where the main character is inspired by yours truly, and I am still in awe that it happened at all ✨🥰✨

Absolutely speechless. Thank you for the incredibly kind words, @__b_c ! And 💯 agree on cross company collaboration for the good of the identity industry 💪
I wrote a short reflection about working with @vibronet on RFC9470, his recent cancer diagnosis, and the personal importance of unsophisticated humor. https://t.co/itS0uzdfmE

Today the OAuth step up authentication challenge protocol becomes RFC9470.
https://t.co/eU4NnDX4MX
We now have an interoperable way for resource servers to tell clients when the authentication with which the current access token was obtained in insufficient and (crucially) allows the RS to express what requirements would be acceptable… and a way for clients to use that info to influence the next authentication ceremony with the authorization server. Both are obtained with ultrasimple primitives easily added to existing SDKs, achieving sophisticated runtime behaviors without the need for complex eventing systems.
One unexpected benefit of this document is clarity we didn't know we needed. The discussion made clear that we all have different ideas and expectations about what step up authentication really means. The non normative sections of RFC9470 capture the salient point and outcomes of that discussion, hopefully facilitating communications and preempting common errors.
On a personal note. This will be the last spec I drive from idea to RFC in my life, and I couldn't have had a better coauthor than @__b_c . From his world class competence to his encyclopedic knowledge of this space, but above all through his genuine desire for the best outcomes for everyone, Brian is just incredible and a joy to work with. Thank you for this wonderful last ride, dear friend.
@andrewshikiar If it wouldn’t be that relearning how to walk is a tad higher in Maslow pyramid, the FOMO for skipping the Vietnam FIDO event would be my top thought! Big hugh friend :) 🫂
Update!
THANK YOU to SO MANY of you for your kind, inspiring, comforting, motivating messages.
I have been out of the ICU for a while, but still in the hospital - fighting to come back to baseline (eg recover kidney function, no bleeding) even before resuming the cancer fight
I remain in serious condition, but as I do my best to fight my way into normalcy rest assured that even when I don't reply your words are read, your love is felt and, above all, reciprocated. I am blessed well beyond my wildest dreams ❤️❤️
As I lie in my hospital bed, receiving my nth transfusion with my beautiful wife on my side, and wondering whether the next bleeding will be my last, my message to you is “you be good. I love you” n/n
You might have heard that I have pancreatic cancer. What’s new is that the bleeding is accelerating, and it’s not impossible that I might die from it - soon.
I can’t really piece together a good farewell tweet, but I also didn’t want to risk not having a chance to write any.
1/n.
I would have never dreamed to enjoy the professional success I had. I had amazing years, thanks to the support of my wife and the trust my leadership(s) put in me. I am grateful for all the friends I made along the way. I love you all. 3/n
