- Hey everyone.
We're here at Chrome
Dev Summit again.
And I'm joined by
Sabine and Eji,
who have just finished their
talk on sign in and credential
management.
So Sabine, you're largely
focused on the best
practices of sign in, I think?
SABINE BORSAY: Yeah.
- How does the Credential
Management API--
what's different about it?
Why is it a good best practice?
SABINE BORSAY: So it
really helps users
to get through these sign in
flows that are full of friction
today.
People can drop off everywhere.
They have to remember how
they signed in last time.
They have to remember
which password they used.
They create duplicate accounts.
And session expiration is
really fast on the web.
So people are frequently
automatically signed out.
And that's really
a pain, basically.
Especially on mobile
devices when you
have to type your credentials.
So the Credential
Management API helps here
because it can
automatically sign the user
in right on the home page--
basically on any page
a user lands on.
Without needing any
user interaction.
- So Eji, you covered a ton of
codes during the presentation.
I tried to pay attention.
But I also missed a lot of it.
So how does the
Credential Management API
differ from the usual
[INAUDIBLE] flow
that I'm probably used to?
EJI KITAMURA: So if I were to
say Credential Management--
Credential Management
API is also
going to [INAUDIBLE] to OOS.
So you can use them together.
For example, if you
are trying to log in
to a website using the third
party identity such as Google
or Facebook or
Microsoft, et cetera,
you can use a protocol
like OpenID Connect or OOS,
which allows the user to use
those accounts or third party
identity to sign in.
So, the Credential
Management API
can remember those
accounts for the user.
So some websites has
multiple of those, right?
If they have, like, Google,
Facebook, Twitter, GitHub,
and so on as an option,
people forget which one
they have used to sign in with.
So Credential
Management API helps
users to remember which one--
which third-party identity they
have used to sign in with.
- Awesome.
So be sure to
check out the talk.
It's going to be on our
YouTube channel, which

And thank you for watching.
Bye.
