I love those send me a text 2FAs and they say the code will expire in 30 seconds. And they take forever to come in.
That's what it feels like waiting the text and it finally comes in.
"If you have a disability, simply use this alternative that's even worse if you have a disability."
Never seen that one ooof
The problem was those alternatives were even easier for AI, so they kept mutilating them until they're practically unusable for anyone.
Like CAPTCHAs where the audio version sounds like those "satanic messages" you'd get by playing a record backwards.
wtf. no thank you
You should not be using SMS 2FAs anyways as they are very not secure (because of the SMS protocol).
Use TOTP whenever possible (the one where you use an app like Google Authenticator, but you typically should use other FOSS solutions)
Heh tell that to microslop. Every time you gotta log in to the college website. It feels so secure...
There are so many sites that force you to use the SMS 2FA, and I hate it!
For some logins I value so little i don't even care to have a password on it, I really don't give a shit if SMS isn't secure.
this is like when you have to call a customer service phone line and they tell you to try the website
