what's the deal with two factor authentication
[laugh track]i come back to work after a weekend and it's like girl what are you doing here
[laugh track]for every fucking thing.
[laugh track]i'm amazed that the two factor app doesn't require two additional two factor things to unlock
[laugh track]should have called it twenty factor
[laugh track]you there, info cop. in the back. I see you taking notes. don't get any fucking ideas
[laugh track]@aeva The original two-factor authentication was a ruse to force you to give up your phone number.

[laugh track]@aeva I have no idea what they implemented or how, but I am very sure that my password never works twice on my health insurance's site; either I click on "i forgot my password" and get a new one or it won't go in at all

[laugh track]@aeva the "two factor" app we use does in fact require two other factors to unlock

@aeva specifically, one of the factors has to be that app now, but of course you can't use the app itself to authenticate yourself to the app, so you need an extra factor to bootstrap the process, and every time you're on a new machine (or one you haven't used in a while, or VS wants to re-activate) it's a game of operation where you have to do a very precise sequence of steps to unlock the unlock app then do the actual log in before it times out

@aeva anyway the "blessed" way to login involves that magic app, TOTP, a regular password that expires after a "round" number of months (which sucks, you want a few extra days of slack there, because every once in a while the time from "your password is about to expire" to "your password is expired" falls entirely into a long weekend or vacation or whatever), and having memorized which identical-looking login screens want your email address and which want just the user name

@aeva and of course all involve doing your "single sign on" 5-15 times a day

@aeva oh, and I forgot, the flow and list of auth factors that are allowed is slightly different depending on whether you're actually sitting in front of a machine in the office or remoting in, because of course it is

@rygorous you ever wonder if the dominant paradigm in CYBER SECURITY is if you can minimize the human involvement per hour then everything will be ok

@aeva *checks numbers* Well if our analysis is correct, we could reduce number and severity of incidents massively if no human or program could connect to our services in the first place

@bart@floss.social Great, I'm going there when I have a time!

@bryan yeah, I think it's probably a miserable existence, but I were going out there, I'd be going out there to win it. If I'm going to suffer for weeks or months, I'd want a return.
And, so many of these folks are making terrible decisions, wasting effort, calories, and time, on absolutely ridiculous projects. It is remarkable how bad these decisions are. We're clearly several generations away from needing to actually live off the land. Ancestral memory clearly doesn't include preserving food.

@quillmatiq@mastodon.social anti-competitive behaviour from the outset. Sad to see from an EU-led effort.

Yeah it’s still a unicorn of physically fit but covered in layers of fat. It’s just so hard to find enough food while building a shelter and chopping firewood constantly.
Also the food must taste so terrible without seasoning… but when starving they don’t even notice.

@bedirthan Update: I was wrong, we've recently learned that it's actually on ATProto. Wish they would've led with that and given other Euro-based open platforms a shoutout.
