In this post, I want to show you a few different ways of creating a login feature in a single-page React application using Okta. I will start with a login redirect. This is the easiest option to implement and is a good choice for some...
Node.js Login with Express and OIDC
Node.js just celebrated its 11th birthday on May 27! With the state of things nows, it’s pretty crazy to think back to the massive JavaScript Renaissance boost of 2009. In case you’re not aware, the JavaScript Renaissance began in around 2004 with Ajax, increased exponentially with jQuery in the mid-2000s, and then really took off with Node.js and a plethora of early JavaScript web frameworks; including Backbone.js, Ember.js, and AngularJS. Today, I’d like to show...

Build a Beautiful App + Login with Angular Material
Usability is a key aspect to consider when creating a web application, and that means designing a clean, easy-to-understand user interface. Leveraging common design languages can help make that goal a reality with their recognizable components that many users will understand right away. However, unlike desktop apps where the operating system provides a set of uniform widgets, there has historically been no common design language to lean on for web app developers. That was until...

A Quick Guide to Spring Boot Login Options
In this post, you’re going to work through various options for implementing a login feature using Spring Boot 2.1. You’ll start with the most simple, basic auth, which you’d likely never want to use except for perhaps an internal backend tool, and move on to a simple form-based authentication page. Next, you’ll customize the default, auto-generated form by overriding some default templates and controllers. Finally, you’ll move on to adding Single Sign-on using OAuth 2.0....
Build Secure Login for Your Angular App
Single page applications (SPAs) are becoming more and more popular. Their appeal is obvious. Fast loading times gives users the feeling of responsiveness even over slow networks. At some point, a developer of a SPA has to think about authentication and authorization. But what do these two terms actually mean? Authentication deals with ensuring that a user truly is who they claim to be. This usually involves a login page in which the user provides...
Add Secure Authentication to your WordPress Site in 15 Minutes
Do you run a WordPress site and want to avoid managing a separate list of user accounts? Have you ever wanted to add two-factor authentication to WordPress? Typically WordPress keeps its own database of usernames and passwords, but if you run multiple websites, I’m sure you’re familiar with the pain of keeping lists of users in sync. Wouldn’t it be great if you could manage all your users in one place, letting them log in...
