This tutorial shows you how to write an application that allows users to self register, and then have their accounts approved or declined by an administrator.

In the previous two tutorials, you learned how to write a basic OpenWhisk Clojure application. In Part 3, I'll show you how to improve any such application. First, you'll learn how to support arguments that include double quotes. Then you'll learn how to use a permanent database (Cloudant) instead of a variable to store the information.

The cloud is not secure. Developers know through experience that software and servers get hacked thanks to bad code and insecure Internet connections to remote servers and data centers. You can compare using the cloud to having valuables that are locked up in a suitcase in a parking lot. By nature, both are susceptible to attacks. In this article, we explain the reasons why the cloud is not secure, but we also examine ways to mitigate any insecurities by illustrating some Django examples through the inception of BugHeist.

In this article, back-end developers learn why it is important to use encryption and how to use it effectively to protect user information on the cloud, especially passwords, so that even a data leak can't be cracked in less than decades. Security is an ever important topic in the cloud that is crucial to full-stack development and is essential on all products and services.

IBM Cloud is an open platform for developing and deploying web and mobile applications. In this two-part tutorial, we walk you through the steps to create a simple GuesstheWord game application using IBM Cloud and its cloud-based development environment: open toolchains and the IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery service.

In this tutorial, you will learn about implementing scalable Node.js applications when you are using the App ID service. This IBM Cloud service allows you to add authentication to your mobile and web apps and protect your APIs and back-ends running on IBM Cloud. App ID provides authentication with email/password through a scalable user registry or you can add social login, so that users can sign in with their Facebook or Google credentials. With App ID, you can also host user profile info that you can use to build engaging experiences.

Passwords are not a complete security solution; they can be stolen or shared. In this tutorial, you learn how to use a random string delivered by email as a second authentication factor. I also discuss several methods for risk analysis, which is used by the application to decide whether a second factor is warranted.
