s0 Is Not A SysadminMay 14

My bank just emailed me to say that because I haven’t used my two factor auth recently (they only require it for specific actions), they’re disabling it on my account.

What kind of a batshit security posture is that?!!

I was thinking they collected everyone’s phone number, reduced people’s privacy in a theatre of enhancing it, got what they wanted then bailed. It was data collection, not data privacy, in the final analysis.

@JoBlakely @deborahh not this one. It’s TOTP 2FA. Which they’re paying way too much to Symantec for
