In ancient Egyptian mythology, Horus, son of King Osiris and Isis, was the god of the sky. The watching eye is an enduring symbol for protection, but the Eye of Horus carries even deeper meaning.

Google authenticator totp and totp3/15/2024 Compute the 20 byte HMAC of a “shared secret” and a timecode using HMAC-SHA1.Here is how you generate a 6 digit TOTP code: You can see the full source on GitHub here: Understanding TOTPīefore we get started with adding two-factor authentication to this example application, let’s take a quick detour and to learn more about how TOTP works.Īs you’ll find on Wikipedia, TOTP “is an extension of the HMAC-based One Time Password algorithm HOTP to support a time based moving factor.”īased on that involved explanation, you might be surprised to find that generating a one time token with TOTP is not actually very complicated. The rest of the code in this example deals with including additional libraries, setting up the application, defining the User class and handling other website functionality. # Bind to PORT if defined, otherwise default to 5000. Return render_template('user.html', logout(): Pwd_hash = bcrypt.hashpw(request.form, bcrypt.gensalt()) Return render_template('sign_up.html', opts=opts) If not user.account or not user.password_valid(request.form): Return render_template('main_page.html', opts=opts) """Always return true - we don't do any account verification""" # The methods below are required by flask-login Return bcrypt.hashpw(pwd, pwd_hash) = pwd_hash We will start with this code, and then add two-factor authentication to it.įrom import login_required Here I will show you how to enable your users to authenticate using a code that is delivered to their phone via SMS.įinally, I give you a working example of a site that can use both the Google Authenticator and SMS to do two-factor authentication.īelow is the code for a very basic website that only uses a username and password for authentication. Here I will show you how to enable your users to authenticate via the Google Authenticator. Now that we know more about how TOTP works, I’ll show you how to add it to the example application that we started with. I will start with a very basic Python application that implements password authentication and build from there.īefore I show you how to add TOTP to that example application, I’ll explain how TOTP works. Here are the topics that I’ll be covering: The best way to see how this is done is to look at some code. This means that you only need to implement and test one additional authentication scheme, but get the benefits of having two different ways that your users can get tokens. What is so cool about TOTP is that it is flexible enough to allow your users to generate their authentication tokens directly on their smart phones using a TOTP app like Google Authenticator or have their tokens sent to their mobile phone via SMS. That device used to be a special-purpose device, but these days that device can just as well be a mobile phone.Ī great pattern that we are seeing for implementing two-factor authentication is to use the TOTP (Time-based One-time Password Algorithm) standard for the second authentication step. Two-Factor Authentication is a method where your users are required to log in with two “factors”: a password, and a code from a device that they carry on their person. In the meantime, a simple and effective way of improving the way your users authenticate themselves is a method known as “ Two-Factor Authentication“, “Two-Factor Auth”, or just “TFA”. In an ideal world, we would all be authenticating ourselves using tamper-proof hardware that implements a public-key cryptographic system. Today, an attacker can discover your user’s password in a variety of ways: they might find your user’s password on a stolen or lost computer, they might find their password on another site where your user used the same password, or your user’s computer might be infected with a virus that is capturing their keystrokes. However, as the security landscape continues to evolve, it is becoming clear that a strong password policy is not enough any more. (Ah, those were the days, when kids were polite and respected their elders). Back in the day, it used to be that enforcing a strong password policy was sufficient to prevent unauthorized access into your user’s accounts.

Steven r schwartz3/14/2024 His main focus are the living energies in the body, the feelings and they are felt in their dynamic aliveness, moment to moment. Meeting, accepting, sharing, letting in and letting through. He models with great sensitivity and delicacy how to bring people into peaceful contact with need energies, with the felt-senses in their bodies. Stephen’s work seems to come from a deep trust, inner intuition and spaciousness. Robert told me he found out about Steve, after Robert had already found his own way to increase connection with human spirituality, inner and outer – so he was not influenced by Steve – but nourished. Robert Gonzales appreciated Stephen’s work, he must have seemed like a colleage to him. Read here the obituary for Stephen Schwartz by Sy Safransky.Ĭontinuation – Robert Gonzales and the work of living compassion I second this opinion and happily present samples of his dialogues here:ġ – Compassionate Self-Care (introduction)Ģ – The space we fall into (Dale and Steve)ģ – So there you are with yourself (Linda and Steve) One of Stephen’s notable acheievements in what he calls “angelic dialogues” is to have adapted the practice of presence to the “interactive space.”.I have come to understand that Stephen’s work represents a profound contribution to our understanding of what it means to be a human being and what it means to be truly helpful to another human being.“ Arnold Katz: “ I believe that Stephen’s work represents a unique development in our capacity to enable human awareness and understanding. It reveals the depth of spiritual experience and compassion that Stephen brought to his work with participants. I present a few excerpts here, along with a reading of an interview he gave near the end of his life, in 1992.Ĭompiled in the last year of Stephen Schwartz’s life, Angelic Dialogues (1993) chronicles dialogues that Stephen had with participants of retreats from around the United States of America. Sy Safransky published three articles about the work of Steve in the online newspaper The Sun, united under the heading “Prayer of the Body”. I wish to include some excerpts from both books soon an this page. I like to see how different people were able to teach and practice compassion. My understanding is that what Steve practiced as Compassi onate Presence aligns closely with Empathy as Marshall Rosenberg, Martin Buber, Thich Nhat Hanh, Carl Rogers and Robert Gonzales and many others understood it. He describes his method in The Compassionate Presence (1988). Some transcripts of recordings of his talks are published in the book Problems Are the Doors Through Which We Walk to Peace (1987). Stephen Schwartz was inspired by A Course in Miracles and held talks at events organized by the Foundation for Inner Peace, where he spoke with no prior concept about spiritual matters. Please contact me if you have stories or information that you might wish to include on this celebration page. I wish to create this page for Steve, to the best of my abilities, to celebrate his contribution and to make it more available to a community of people, to whom his work might be of interest. He also assisted participants in retreats or individual sessions to find peace about those pockets of pain which still linger even after much inner work. He practiced communication-based compassion in the 1980s and 1990s – for self and others – creating inner clarity and consciousness about what is thinking and what is present in the body – reconnecting to life. in education from the State University of New York. in literature from Brandeis Unversity and an M.A. Stephen Robbins Schwartz (1949-1993) was an author, publisher and retreat leader.

Pearl jam album covers art3/14/2024 Vedder said that "you write what comes to you. The songs on the album tackle personal as well as social and political concerns. are songs of a kind of ritual passion, tapping into something truly wild." In a 2002 interview, Gossard said, "We got our heavyosity out on that record." McCready stated that it wasn't that the band "sat down and decided to be funky," but rather it came from the band "exploring different directions and combining our influences." Paul Evans of Rolling Stone said "'Animal', 'Daughter' and 'Blood'. A few songs incorporate elements of funk, including "Animal", "Blood", and "Rats". Ament said, "When we made Vs., our second record, I remember thinking, 'Man, I wish our first record sounded like this.' I thought it was more direct, more powerful." Besides the heavier songs, the album features two acoustic ballads in "Daughter" and "Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town". The album featured a much looser and rawer sound compared to the band's debut album, Ten. I just didn't feel comfortable in the place we were at because it was very comfortable. Vedder later said, "The second record, that was the one I enjoyed making the least. He was having a hard time finishing up the songs the pressure, and not being comfortable being in such a nice place." Ament added that "toward the end it got fairly intense" and that the band "tried to make it as uncomfortable for Vedder as we could." Eventually the band was able to get "back on track" according to Ament as Vedder was allowed "to get in the space of his songs." The album was finished in May 1993. I thought we were playing so well as a band that it would take care of itself. Bassist Jeff Ament said, "Recording Vs., there was a lot more pressure on Ed. In order to keep up his intensity, Vedder traveled into San Francisco and began sleeping in his truck, as well as the sauna at the recording studio. The first week of recording produced "Go", "Blood", "Rats", and "Leash" before the band hit a lull. That was where I realized there were going to be a lot of places to go with Ed." I saw how it could change and evolve which gave me a lot of inspiration to go we can do ballads, we can do fast stuff, we can do slow stuff, we can do punk stuff. Guitarist Stone Gossard said, "I think we allowed things to develop in a more natural, band-oriented sort of way, rather than me bringing in a bunch of stuff that was already arranged." Gossard added that most of the songs were arranged once Vedder joined in and started singing, elaborating, "You could tell when the music wanted to change just by the way he was singing." In a 2009 interview, Gossard stated, " was probably where it felt better recording wise. O'Brien had the band members set up much as they do live, and most of the songs were developed out of jam sessions. The band took the approach of recording one song at a time, and agreed with O'Brien to mix the songs as each one was finished. Abbruzzese called the tranquil recording site "paradise" while lead vocalist Eddie Vedder said, "I fucking hate it here. The band then moved to The Site in Nicasio, California in March 1993 to begin recording. began in February 1993 at Potatohead Studio in Seattle, Washington. It was also the band's first album with drummer Dave Abbruzzese, who had joined the band in August 1991 and toured for the album Ten. was the first Pearl Jam album to have production duties handled by Brendan O'Brien. In a 2002 interview, guitarist Mike McCready said, "The band was blown up pretty big and everything was pretty crazy." Vs. For its second album, Pearl Jam felt the pressure of trying to match the success of its debut album, Ten.
