@olegko @vorticoncmdr Yet another reminder to not use SMS for 2-factor authentication -- use an app instead.

@johnmu @vorticoncmdr At this point, I have to scroll through my authenticator app trying to find the right code 😂

made me switch back to sms for unimportant logins - can't imagine the list if I hadn't

and why doesn't Google authenticator have a search feature? the irony

@olegko @johnmu I'm using the Google authenticator app as well (on the iPhone). The iOS version has a search feature. Strange that your app doesn't

@vorticoncmdr @olegko Looking at what it took for me to get a replacement SIM card for my kids (aka "I'm their father"), I would strongly recommend never relying on SMS for 2FA. If you're not using an authenticator app, I would consider that not using a 2FA.

@johnmu @vorticoncmdr yeah, by 'unimportant', I mean 'was forced to use 2fa by the service even though I don't want 2fa'

sms 2fa is starting to turn into security theater with all the breaches

@simple_dimple I honestly don't know. I've seen similar results in the past and the only thing I do know is that one value is a timestamp. 1674509928674925 is nanosecond precision and converts to 'Mon, 23 Jan 2023 21:38:48 GMT'

new Date(1674509928674).toGMTString()

all the rest is really difficult to say without any prior knowledge which probably no one outside of Google has.

My guess: This is either some kind of signature or some kind of tracking event.

@simple_dimple Oh. And Cyber Chef is really cool. I didn't know this existed.
