Can I use Stripe test mode without verification? - asp.net

I am developing a mini asp.net mvc project for my subject in University. My project is an ecommerce project and I want to connect it with Stripe gateway. But I can't verify my Stripe account. So what I want to know is: Can I use Stripe test mode without verify my account?

Yep, you can use Stripe's test mode without verifying your account. Test mode will work immediately upon creation of a new Stripe account.

Is it possible admin of app can see the firebase sms verification code

Is it possible admin of app can see the firebase sms verification code As we are developing an application used by farmers mostly in remote places around globe, There is an issue in login using OTP if it is possible that admin can see the OTP(mostly not receiving OTP due to network issues), we will be login at the other end(admin) and make it possible for the users to use the app.
No, Firebase Authentication doesn't let you see the code. You'll have to build a custom solution for it.

Unknown user in my firebase user authentication (Flutter/firebase)

I developed an app to test the google login feature using flutter and google authentication. The project is a closed project and only I have access to it. But recently I saw that there was a google sign in from an unknown Email ID. How did the user login without the build of my app? Has my account been hacked? What is going on?
Anyone with knowledge of your project's API Keys can access your Firebase Project using simple CURL Commands.
This is why it's a good idea to add restriction to those API Keys
In case you haven't, go to https://console.cloud.google.com and
Select your project
Click the menu icon at the top left (hamburger icon)
Go to API & Services and then credentials
You can view the APIs for your Google Cloud Project (linked to your Firebase Project) and then set restrictions for the API keys, refresh them or restrict access to specific platforms like Android or iOS.
You can also set restrictions on which components of Firebase the API key is allowed to access. For example, if your project doesn't require the use of Cloud Firestore, you can ensure that the API Key cannot be used to make calls to the Firestore Database
All said and done, I would still recommend that you shoot a mail to the Firebase Support team at https://firebase.google.com/support/troubleshooter/contact
To anyone still wondering about this:
If you provide a native google sign in and the registered
email adresses look like this:
karolynmccorkle.91842#gmail.com
normabrock.69306#gmail.com
guillermogeorge.53163#gmail.com
kylegomez.35423#gmail.com
opalbarrett.09499#gmail.com
they are probably test accounts used to generate Google Plays Pre-Launch reports.
You can read about it in the Play Console Help here.
If your app has a sign-in screen and you want the crawler to test the
sign-in process or the content behind it, you need to provide account
credentials.
Note that you do not need to provide credentials if your
app supports "Sign-in with Google,” which enables the crawler to log
in automatically.

Approval Request 2FA authentication

With Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator I generate a Time-based One Time Password (TOTP).
User need to insert the code in my website complete two factor authentication.
How to generate a push notification "Approval Request" in Authenticator App with a custom account?
Like described here:
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7026266?co=GENIE.Platform%3DiOS&hl=en
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Azure-Active-Directory-Identity/Microsoft-Authenticator-iOS-now-supports-push-approval-for/ba-p/245120
Could not find any technical documentation
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You can't build that sort of integration with Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
One option you have is to check out the Authy push notification API. It uses the Authy app which is free to download for your users, and can perform authentication via push notification or drop back to in app code or even SMS.
Let me know if that helps at all.

Application insights slack integration

I've recently started using application insights with a web api.
It will be really helpful to configure app insights to post error messages in a slack channel.
I've seen there is a slack connector but I am not sure how to use it, my guess is that this can be solved with the slack connector and a azure logic app, any tips? tutorials?
You may have a look at this link: https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/demos/alert-to-slack-with-logic-app. I followed the instruction and it worked for me.
The tricky part is you need to click the "Deploy to Azure" button on this link page. It would redirect you to Azure Portal, and you will need to specify which channel you want the alert message to be sent e.g. #somechannel. Don't use direct message like #yourname, it has some problem with that and the logic app couldn't deploy for me.
Then you just follow the instruction to find the deployed logic app and authenticate it by logging into slack. And you also need get the logic app URI from the deployment output as in the instruction. Once you put the URI into the alert webhook, you are ready to go!
It's relatively easy to set up a slack webhook.
There's a pretty good C# nuget package for this at https://github.com/nerdfury/Slack.Webhooks
Although you'd need to set up a seperate service to poll and route the app insights data.
There's also commercial options.
getcloudbot.com allows you to hook your Azure Application Insights bundle directly into your slack channel. It's good at staying on top of your services.
Disclaimer : I run it.
You can configure an alert for your error messages https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-insights-alerts
And then configure sending to Slack using web hooks: https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Create-Azure-Alerts-with-b938077a
Another quick solution to this, which doesn't involve additional code or a logic app, is to set up a Slack email integration, which provides you an inbound email address for a given channel. You can use that in Application Insights in the "Additional administrator email(s)" field.
This isn't perfect, as you don't really get a lot of details in the post to slack, but it will notify you and provide the name of the alert.
The most easiest path that I found to integrate was using an app named Slack Email which sends email alerts to slack. Once you subscribe this email id to alerts in Application Insights it will start sending the messages on the specific channel you have linked the email to.

WP7 - Add Authentication to Push Notifications

I am looking to add authentication to my WP7 application. I currently have simple, unauthorized push notifications working thanks to this MSDN sample.
I am having difficulty figuring out exactly what I need to change in my code in order to get authentication. I have read this MSDN article and know I need to get a TLS certificate uploaded to the App Dev website (in progress) and get some info from it once it's verified.
Thanks for reading/helping!
If you mean code to change in your WP application, you shouldn't have to change anything. Authentication simply changes the way your web service communicates with the Microsoft Push Notification Service, rather than how the Microsoft Push Notification Service communicates with your app on the phone.
