In 2014 the Fast Identity Online (FIDO) alliance announced the Universal Second Factor (U2F) specification which provides 2FA based on security keys, resistant to phishing, man-in-the-middle attacks (MitM) or stolen passwords. Let's have a look at its current state and browser support for WebAuthn!

Use complex passwords they said! It will be secure they said! This meme may be part of a humoristic view on the harsh reality. According to Google's study 1.9 billion pa

An HTML dialog is a container for content which overlaps the rest of the site and is in the foreground. From a designer’s perspective a dialog catches the focus

CSS Scroll snapping is a method of defining snap points to tell the browser where it should stop scrolling. The process of snapping to the edge of an element (e.g. section, image, box, etc.) when coming close to it is used in order to achieve optimized scrolling positions and emphasise certain content.

In the past few years a recognizable trend of single page websites emerged (not to be confused with the term ‘single page application’). These sites consist of mainly

With the implementation of CSS Typed Object Model, browsers will provide a more convenient way to access and manipulate style values using JavaScript. Typed JavaScript Objects are returned that allow handling CSS values in a more performant and less error-prone way.

The Clipboard API is useful for customizing copy/cut/paste actions in the browser, eg. for reformatting the structure of the copied content, attaching metadata or adding external data to the content, copy/cut/paste on click or explicitly setting the content type. Let's dive in.

Standard web browsers allow developers to use the system clipboard. The Clipboard API is useful for customizing the copy/cut/paste actions. There are multiple scenari

JavaScript has come a long way from its origins in 1995 to the revolution of ES2015. Thanks to Babel we can enjoy the comfort and many features of ES2015 and the following releases in 2016 and 2017—even in outdated browser versions. But that's not the end: ES2018 is here and ES2019 is on its way. Lets take a look!
