@Polygeekery There is a hacky but working solution. Simply copy the string or QR code that they give you when you setup the authenticator.
-
My company uses some kind of MS 2FA. I refused to install an app for that, so they switched it for me to text message mode. Changing phones is not a problem.

@MrL but changing phone numbers is...

Never did that, not planning to ever do it.

@MrL due to travelling abroad (and various problems happening on the way), I've recently had a need to change phone numbers pretty often. And let me tell you, updating phone numbers in all my banks on both sides of Atlantic is PAIN. Right now, I'm very glad the legally mandated 2FA didn't happen in USA yet.

That does sound bad, true.

legally mandated 2FA
This sounds terrifying.
Welcome to the future. Your future. Coming soon.
An important element of PSD2 is the requirement for strong customer authentication on the majority of electronic payments.
"Strong customer authentication" is a proper name referring to, in simple terms, 2FA and shit.
The European Banking Authority (EBA) published today an Opinion on the deadline for the migration to SCA under the revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) for e-commerce card-based payment transactions. The Opinion sets the deadline to 31 December 2020 and prescribes the expected actions to be taken during the migration period.
(The previous deadline was September 2019 and at least Poland sticked to it. But that's not surprising - we've always been ahead in banking technology, and all banks had already come up with 2FA on their own anyway.)
-
@Gąska The chip-and-PIN method so far seems to have worked out...
As far as I understand it satisfies the "have something" (the chip / plastic card in which it's embedded) and "know something" factors, and so it's 2FA which they were already introducing anyway.
What I'm less happy about is that they seem to be moving in the other direction with NFC payments without PIN, and banking phone apps which aren't strictly tied to the phone (phones in general don't have a chip where the bank can vouch for its uniqueness). Instead they are running predictions on what transactions might be suspicious or outright fraud...
-
@JBert it's about online transactions for the most part.
Edit: and I've found one source that says phone payments above a small limit will require fingerprint or something. But I don't use banking apps so not gonna delve into details.
-
@Gąska well, as long as my TAN generator keeps working and I don’t have to deal with the retarded version of 2FA google makes me go through (over in that thread ) it might not be too bad.

Status: Cursing a bit because the Windows XP VM I use to access the security camera DVR (when I want to download footage) is no longer able to communicate directly to the NAS (because, haha you're how old lol?).
HFS to the rescue!

@Polygeekery LastPass authenticator has online backups and supports multiple devices. https://blog.lastpass.com/2017/05/announcing-cloud-backup-for-lastpass-authenticator-easier-multifactor-security-for-everyone.html/
I haven't used it enough to offer a personal endorsement, but the number of sites it supports push notifications for is pretty good.
I will check it out. Looks like just what the alcoholic gun nut capitalist swine ordered.

I'm sure it was, at some point in time.

Your resume doesn't include "fluent in HTML"?

@Zerosquare I did try to read that just as it was, but I could ony tolerate so much before I copy-pasted that to a text editor and regularexpressioned the extraneous markup into oblivion.
-
Why oh why is the Windows implementation for some functions found in a C file for an OS that's not even close to Windows, while the version of the C file for Windows has those functions commented out so they don't build?
-
@mott555 Why oh why does Library A include functions from Library B in its headers, but with no implementation or usage anywhere in the library? And why does its headers have the function signatures incorrect so if you include Library B and try to actually use that function, you get linker errors?!
-
@mott555 Sounds like: "status: Someone needs to die."

@error_bot amazing. The entire comic contains neither word.
The comic did not but the guys from ExplainXKCD did use it in their banter though:
No idea what defines the order of search results...

Advertisement from the end of the linked article:
This is usually the part of a post where I’d put an affiliate link for the game, but I’ll spare you the experience of playing WWE 2K20. Here’s a link to buy a Baby Yoda Funko Pop! instead.
I think I'd have preferred playing WWE 2K20, thank you very much. Funko Pops being the trashiest of the trashiest of pop culture merchandise and can burn in hell combined with a severely overrated character. Yeah... I question the sanity of anyone who likes Funko Pops.

I question the sanity of anyone who likes Funko Pops.
can't disagree there..... but..... at least Funko pops don't stop being Funko pops when the year changes unexpectedly....
it's literally their only saving grace.... and can't hope to overcome their downsides (such as being utterly incapable of standing on their own in even the slightest of breezes, such as those created by a passing fruit fly) but...... it is there.
-
@Vixen If they stopped being Funko Pops that would be an improvement

@Vixen FYI we recently got this pair of emojis:

@El_Heffe Wanted to read that, but they block you if you have an ad blocker. (Looks at ABP counter - 94 blocked already. Yeah, fuck you.)

You're missing an autoplaying video which docks to the side when you scroll the page.
Consider yourself happy.

Consider yourself happy.No, it's still there. I can see it under the translucency they apply! (and it's playing)

good to know i guess......
but my version is... well stolen honestly, but it's mine now! so there!
NYA! :-P

huh.... they didn't block mine (uBlock Origin) but yikes that's a lot of blocked stuff......
anyway it's a rather bland article about a large number of tumbleweeds that got tumbled onto a highway covering motorists and requiring slow clearing equipment to clear.....
so... that's fun. i guess?

slow clearing equipment
couldn't they have used fast clearing equipment instead?

it's like defense in depth....
IPS with deep packet inspection on the router.
pi.hole for DNS (running on my docker host instead of a separate raspberry pi)
uBlock for ad blocking in the browser.
and Disable HTML5 Autoplay because fuck auto-playing videos...... though i'm going to need to find a new solution for that, because that plugin is no longer supported by the author and some sites have figured out how to bypass it, even though there's no equivalent browser setting...... at least not that i've found.....
i can't say that I can browse with impunity.... the sketchier parts of the internet are still pretty sketchy, but at least I don't see much in the way of ads, and basically nothing with regard to drive-by malware served through ad networks (which i'll be honest is no longer the number one reason i run that setup..... overly intrusive ads are the gold medalist.)

@Vixen It was probably too expensive

Considering the fact that this problem arises from tumbleweeds being rather mobile (evidence to the contrary), I'm not sure that tumbling fireballs will be an improvement.

@Rhywden Then it would be a fireball avalanche, an even cooler band name.

anyone else think that Alfred's character was better than Bruce's in that movie? or is it just me?

I still think it's funny that his Cockney accent is now associated with high class when it's actually the opposite in England.

Either way he's a fantastic actor. Almost as good in my opinion as Sir Patrick Stewart or Sir Ian McKellen
