New Zealand has about 399,000 special votes still to count. I ran that count 50,000 times. The government keeps its majority in just 34% of runs. Hung (Opportunity holds the balance): 22%. Labour, Greens, TPM with Opportunity: 44%. Run your own: electionhq.nz/specials #nzpol

@dpfdpf put Luxon staying PM at 94% or better. I get a lot less, and it's mostly overhang. All 42 of National's seats are electorates, but its party vote earns 35. When the specials cut National, it keeps those seats and Parliament grows to 132. Then 66 isn't a majority.

It's a model, not a forecast, and Opportunity would still have to pick a side. It moves a lot with the assumptions: no Opportunity lift 55%, NZ First holds its vote 71%, specials like 2023 65%, like 2017 10%. Change them and share your own run: electionhq.nz/specials

Trust is what makes us human. 🔐 Our very own Justin Soong joined David Lee on The Identity Jedi Show to chat about digital identity, trust, and the technology making authentication more secure. From asymmetric cryptography and passkeys to AI agent guardrails and the bigger picture of building trust in a digital world, there's plenty of good conversation to unpack. Here's a sneak peek! To catch the full conversation, head over to YouTube. 👇 🎥 ap1.hubs.ly/H01wcmP0 #identityjedi #authentication #aiagent #authsignal #podcast

Interesting to see that the highest polling booth for @actparty is in Southland at 34.4%. Data via electionhq.nz/southland?boot… #nzpol

We don’t think businesses should have to predict which authentication technology will win. Passkeys are already changing how people authenticate, digital credentials are changing how trusted information can be shared and biometrics, device signals and other methods all have a role to play. And we know this won’t be the end of the list. That’s why we’re building Authsignal around orchestration. The goal is to give businesses one place to bring these methods together, decide what to use and when, and introduce what comes next without rebuilding the identity stack underneath it. The future of authentication will keep evolving. Your architecture should give you room to evolve with it.

What if proving who you are didn’t mean handing over the same identity information again and again? We’re moving from a world where businesses store and manage a customer’s identity to one where the customer can carry a cryptographically signed credential and present it when needed. That opens up a very different way of thinking about digital identity. Instead of asking how businesses can collect and verify more information, digital credentials create an opportunity to ask how little information they actually need. Less data collected. Less data stored. More control in the hands of the customer. That’s one of the reasons we’re excited about where digital credentials are heading.

That’s still the reality for a lot of businesses. Adding a new authentication method or changing how a customer is challenged can mean going deep into existing applications and identity infrastructure. But authentication is changing quickly. Passkeys, digital credentials, biometrics and new verification methods are all becoming part of the picture. The architecture around authentication needs to be able to move just as quickly. That means giving teams the flexibility to introduce and orchestrate new methods without rebuilding the systems underneath them. #authentication #Authsignal #passkeys #thoughtleadership #verification

Growth is good. Outgrowing your authentication experience isn’t. Simplicity needed authentication that could keep pace with a growing member base, support stronger security and still feel simple for the people using it. With Authsignal, the team rolled out passkeys, biometrics and adaptive MFA across web and mobile, with step-up protection for higher-risk actions. All on its existing environment. Learn how the rollout came together in the case study, linked in the comments below 🔗 #AWS #Simplicity #Authsignal #MFA #Authentication #Passkeys #CaseStudy

As payment journeys expand across wallets, apps and AI agents, authentication will need to become more portable, interoperable and easier to carry across channels. That’s what makes Digital Payment Credentials so interesting. We unpack what’s taking shape and what it could mean for the future of payments.

Digital credentials are moving from pilot to production, fast. Most businesses aren't ready to accept them yet. We broke down what you need to know: ap1.hubs.ly/H01hCh-0

Great day at Digital Trust Hui Taumata 2026. Coffee poured, passkeys discussed, one panel down. Good to spend the day with the rest of NZ's identity crowd.

We've taken the learnings from passkeys and launched Digital credential Verification! Go @authsignal team!
Digital Credential Verification is live. One integration, any wallet, no rebuild. Same drop-in pattern that took passkeys mainstream, now built for digital ID. Full picture on the blog: ap1.hubs.ly/H01dSy50 #Digitalidentity #Authsignal

Silent Network Authentication verifies the SIM matches the phone number. No code sent. No code phished. But it's a possession check, not an identity check, and it only works when the carrier, device, and network conditions line up. We broke down SNA and where it fits 👉 ap1.hubs.ly/y0_9ZF0

A global real estate company needed to strengthen authentication for employees across Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Authsignal integrated directly with their existing Azure AD B2C setup and was deployed in under two months. Implemented with support from Inde, check out the full case study: ap1.hubs.ly/y0M8Zk0
