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.

Nowadays, with the Google Translate App, you can easily do this with any mobile device. But is this also possible using only HTML, CSS, and Javascript?

What web can do today

Yesterday I tried to create a Progressive Web App displaying an artificial horizon over a live camera view and was wondering if this would be possible with a modern mobile web browser. During the research, I stumbled over several websites which you can use to test the hardware capabilities and their software support in web browsers and I wanted to share some links.
