What it is
Mistaken Identity, "brought to you by Okta", ran one season of 14 episodes between June and December 2023. Host Matt Duench interviewed product leaders about customer identity: how sign-up, sign-in, and profile data shape customer experience, and the myths that get in the way. The final episode was an interview with FIDO Alliance executive director Andrew Shikiar on passkeys.
Who it suits
Product managers and digital marketers who own a sign-up or sign-in flow and want a non-technical view of customer identity.
Editor note
A rare identity show aimed at product people rather than security teams, which is its value. It is a vendor production with a short run and no episodes since December 27, 2023, so we list it as dormant. For a current, vendor-neutral take on customer identity choices, see our CIAM platform rankings.
