Renee and Marc break down the evolution of authentication in recent times. RSA tokens. The rise of mobile authenticators. The not-so-long, painful reign of SMS codes.
They move through SIM swapping, behavioral biometrics, and the shift toward systems that study how we type, move, and interact. They dig into trust, privacy, and the growing gap between convenience and control.
The conversation pushes toward the future: digital agents, intent-driven identity, and a world where authentication fades into the background.
A fun nostalgic look at how logging in became a moving target and why the next wave feels different.
