People of the Fediverse, stop everything. This is some true shit happening here: Two-Factor Authentication, a thread:

In French, the word for "factor" is "facteur". But it has another meaning: mailman. Yes, the one who delivers letters in your physical mailbox. For this reason, there is a funny meme in French where 2FA is in fact your mailman coming in and confirming that it's you.

@StupidCamille Great, now computer security will need to develop against a new type of attack - in addition to "evil maid attacks", we might see an uptick in "evil postman attacks". :)
