Microsoft Entra's MACE Rollout Triggers Account Lockouts: A Deep Dive into the Security Flaw

A recent rollout of Microsoft's Entra ID's MACE Credential Revocation feature has caused widespread account lockouts across organizations, raising questions about the robustness of such security measu...

Damn, I expect an #identityManagement company like #Yubico to know better than to give people bad, outdated advice to "rotate passwords."
If you are using random, unique passwords stored in a password manager and using MFA wherever it's available (which is pretty much all sensitive sites nowadays!), there's no reason to rotate passwords that haven't been compromised. Telling people to do so decreases security rather than increasing it.

Yubico · 5 fast cybersecurity tips to clean up your digital lifeWith today being Identity Management Day, now is the perfect time to take stock of your online presence, update security settings, and ensure that your personal data remains protected from cyber threats like phishing. We’re also seeing increasing concerns of DeepSeek and other AI tools around data privacy making these kinds of attacks more successful […]

I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

🎙️ BIG NEWS: I'm launching Entra.Chat - the podcast identity pros have been waiting for!

After years in the identity trenches, I've seen a lot - the midnight calls, the authentication puzzles, and those "how is this even possible?" moments.

That's why I created EntraChat - to share the REAL stories behind Microsoft Entra deployments that you won't find in documentation.

My first episode drops TODAY with identity wizard Ben Wolfe, who reveals how his team migrated 700 apps and 30,000 users from Okta to Microsoft Entra in just 90 days (while implementing Windows Hello for Business simultaneously!)

I've already recorded amazing conversations with identity leaders who've solved problems you're probably facing right now. Their candid insights and battle-tested solutions might just save your next deployment!

Upcoming episodes include conversations with
❤️ Kuba Gretzky - Creator of EvilGinx
❤️ Martin Sandren - Product leader at Ikea
❤️ Dhanyah Krishnamoorthy - Product Manager, Microsoft Entra for Connect Sync and Cloud Sync
❤️ Samantha 🦚 Kloos-Kilkens -
❤️ Nathan McNulty - Fountain of knowledge on all things Microsoft Security

Who's ready to level up their identity knowledge?

Drop a 💙 if you're as excited about this as I am!
