The talk shows the status of the standarization efforts for autoconfiguration and 2FA authentication for email, for example based on OAuth2 or Passkeys. It shows the various Draft RFCs discussed at the moment, and the state of their standards efforts.

There are a few strategic choices to be made, and tradeoffs, which give advantage to certain parties, e.g. email providers or email clients or their users. The talk highlights these choices and it might ask the audience for an opinion poll of some of these choices.
