Who!
The Saint Louis Linux Users Group (STLLUG) is a non-profit, volunteer group that provides education, information and/or support for Linux users.
What!
ONLINE Sessions
TOPIC: Password Vaults and Tools
Modern, Necessary and Useful
Presenter: Lee Lammert
How Modern Authentication Technologies Work, is a technical dive into the authentication mechanisms powering today's most secure websites and password managers, including TOTP, push authenticators, Passkeys (WebAuthn/FIDO2), and hardware security keys like YubiKey. We will demystify the cryptographic protocols, client-server flows, device trust boundaries, and threat models involved.
Whether you are planning your own auth system or just want to understand how Passkeys and hardware tokens work behind the scenes, we will break it down clearly and practically.

This Saint Louis MO, STL Linux Users Group (STLLUG) meets monthly to learn and talk about Linux. To avoid back-to-back meetings, this GNU/Linux Users Group usually holds its meetings ( eight days after ) on the second Thursday after the monthly meeting of the Saint Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG). Eight days after would either be the third Thursday or the fourth Thursday of each month.
These meetings are free, public and open to all.
We begin gathering about 6:00PM to test microphones, screen sharing and webcams. At 6:30PM we start with introductions, announcements, current events of interest, and a general CALL-FOR-HELP segment. Then we will go into the presentation of our main topic, sometime after or around 6:45PM.
A SLUUG Special Interest Group
STLLUG is loosely affiliated with the St. Louis Unix Users Group (SLUUG), as one of its Special Interest Groups (SIG). Under SLUUG care, web page support is provided. Individual membership dues, fees or other charges are NOT required. These meetings are free, public and open to all.
