Sandia Lab: Two-factor authentication just got easier. “Researchers at Sandia have announced a more efficient way to generate and send temporary security codes. Unlike conventional methods, the new technique does not depend on the time, which could help secure small and remote network-connected devices, including drones, remote sensors, agricultural equipment and industrial control systems.”

Maybe it's female of me to realise that you can't always control whether you have any devices (let alone USB keys) on your person, or indeed what your face looks. #twoFactor is OK for sophisticated matters of business, but it can't be mandatory for essentials eg proving nationality, accessing email.

I have ALWAYS thought #twoFactor created personal vulnerabilities, particularly but not exclusively when travelling abroad. I (stupidly) hadn't thought about how it facilitates autocratic policies such as ethnic cleansing. #technologyEthics #cybersecurity #civilliberties bsky.app/profile/j2br...

"His mobile phone, which is required for the two-step authentication process to verify his identity cards, is held by police."

Developer Vincent Bernat demonstrates how to turn three Yubico YubiKey USB two-factor authentication dongles into an offline public key infrastructure (PKI) using a low-cost single-board computer as an air-gapped host.

An air-gapped public key infrastructure is going to be a lot harder to hack — and doesn't have to cost the Earth.

I live in a country where the main federal government service sends account confirmation codes by postal mail. Maybe someone Francophone misheard "two factor" authentication and thought it was «du facteur» authentication?

Ich wollte mich heute im Google Browser am Laptop anmelden und sollte die 2 Faktor Authentfizierung im Auto bestätigen (Android Automotive mit Google Chrome) :D #androidautomotive #twofactor #it

I believe it's time to modify Laravel's Authentication flow for a two-step scenario.

It's very difficult to make 2FA unless you deal with a middleware that checks 2FA on EVERY REQUEST, instead of just at the login flow.

Have you ADDED 2FA to your website? Have you added 2FA to your hosting providers? Have you added 2FA to your keyvault in Azure?

I have.

Maybe you should even if you aren't an enterprise. #2fa #twofactor #cybersecurity
