Beyond passwords: identity in a post-quantum world

Heading to Helsinki for Slush 2026? Join Secrets Vault on November 17 for an informal conversation about securing digital identity, with open Q&A, networking and drinks on us. Request your place on Luma: luma.com ↗ Registration is subject to host approval. How can you strengthen authentication without making life harder for users? How do you verify someone’s identity when they lose access to their usual authentication methods? And where does post-quantum cryptography fit into the identity systems you build today? Join Jordi Puiggalí (CTO) and Gerard Cervelló (CEO) from Secrets Vault to discuss passwordless authentication, identity verification and account recovery. We’ll explore the practical challenges organisations face, the trade-offs between security and usability, and what to consider when preparing identity systems for a post-quantum world. Bring your questions and real-world use cases. Together, we’ll explore what could work in your environment, where the limitations are, and which issues deserve attention first. Bonus for Microsoft Entra ID users: looking for an alternative to SMS-based MFA? Bring your use case and we’ll explore practical options, including authentication that doesn’t require users to install an app. An evening for founders, technology and security leaders, and anyone building or choosing digital identity solutions. Ask questions, share experiences and meet fellow Slush attendees in a relaxed setting.
