Traditional two-factor technologies, requiring you to type in a code from your phone, are a hassle and have numerous security shortcomings. A recently published standard from the FIDO Alliance, Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) is the next step in the evolution of account security. Through tightly integrating hardware tokens like the YubiKey, the web browser, and websites like GitHub, U2F provides an easier and more secure way to lock down your web accounts.

Jerrod Chong and Ben Toews, from Yubico and GitHub respectively, discuss how U2F works, how it improves the security and user experience of two-factor authentication, and why and how GitHub chose to adopt this new standard.

GitHub’s API is used by organizations around the world to integrate their tools and processes with GitHub. During this session, Kyle Daigle will focus on how GitHub and other organizations use the GitHub's API and webhooks to enhance their existing workflows within GitHub and allow for some new ones too.

Examples of how GitHub uses our own platform that we’ll work through:
+ How to get started with the GitHub API in your organization.
+ Create tracking issues from Nagios alerts that include diagnostic information, and alert engineers with team mentions.
+ Track test output, code coverage, and more with commit statuses.
+ Automate repository setup with organization webhooks.
+ Track deployments of pull requests across multiple environments and deployment schemes.

Myk Melez lets us in on how Offline Web Apps hosted on GitHub Pages can use Service Workers to cache themselves consistently and persistently, including automatic, silent, and incremental updates, with graceful degradation on browsers that don't support them.

Learn what Service Workers are, find out how to integrate them into Grunt and Gulp toolchains, and see demos of Offline Web Apps on GitHub Pages surviving page reloads and browser restarts on disconnected devices.
