​Technology has made our lives better in many ways. But despite all of these advances we're still juggling authentication methods.

​Enter a password, click a push notification, enter a code. It feels never ending... But what if it actually was never ending? Introducing "Welcome to Authentication Hell", a browser-based game written in Ruby.

​You play a developer trying to escape Authentication Hell. At each level you must authenticate with increasingly more frustrating authentication methods. Will you reach the surface or collapse under the weight of push notifications and passkeys?

​Along the way, we'll learn about implementing various methods of authentication in Ruby. Passwords, passkeys, biometrics, and more.
