Funny how excited people can get about something as simple as a sticker. They're always in hot demand and occupy an increasingly large portion of my luggage as we travel around. Charlotte reckoned it would be the same for other merch too, so, while I've been

The Have I Been Pwned Alpine Grand Tour is upon us! I've often joked that work is always either sitting at my desk at home in isolation or on the other side of the world, and so it is with this trip. As we've done with

Let me start by very simply explaining the problem we're trying to solve with passkeys. Imagine you're logging on to a website like this:

I love a good road trip. Always have, but particularly during COVID when international options were somewhat limited, one road trip ended up, well, "extensive". I also love the recent trips Charlotte and I have taken to spend time with many of the great agencies we've

How do seemingly little things manage to consume so much time?! We had a suggestion this week that instead of being able to login to the new HIBP website, you should instead be able to log in. This initially confused me because I've been used to logging on
