Implementing Two-Factor Authentication

Two-​factor authentication using the time-​based one-​time password algorithm can be easily implemented with PHP on any web server. This standardized method is widely used as an additional security measure for logins and uses smartphone apps, e.g. the Google or Microsoft Authenticator, as a second factor.

Augmented Reality with Chrome: Let Flowers Grow!

With Chrome 81 Beta for Android, it’s now possible to use immersive Augmented Reality in the browser. I have again created two variations of the original demo source code to show what is easily possible. You can now walk around the earth, having a closer look, and (hopefully) spread joy by placing flowers wherever you like.

A minimal Web Push example

Web push notifications allow users to opt-​in to asynchronous messages from a server to a web application. The message can be sent at any time, even when the web application or the web browser is inactive. This W3C standard, based on the HTTP/2 protocol, is now supported by Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, and Safari – but not by iOS.

Safe Browsing with the Windows Sandbox

The Windows May 2019 update brought the new Sandbox feature. It can be used as a safe browsing environment without the risk of affecting the base Windows installation with malware of any kind. We will create a host installation of a Web browser with a persistent configuration, which is mirrored into the virtualized environment of the Sandbox whenever needed.
