A wafrn woot (post) by @tinker@infosec.exchange saying “Microsoft Authenticator needs me to validate with Authenticator in order to log in with Authenticator to use it to authenticate another app with Authenticator. Here is the app telling me to open itself to validate itself with itself. #infosec #iHateComputers” It has a screenshot showing the microsoft authenticator app.
I guess using strong and unique passwords on every account is the mark of a moron but true genius? That’s a company with some of the supposed best engineers in the world who needs you to have your fucking phone to find your fucking phone. What a great system! All hail Google and flawless security practice!
Believe it or not, the best engineers in the world can’t help if you lose your backup codes. You know, the ones that you can use when you need MFA but don’t have your phone? Removing MFA because you had trouble one time “is the mark of a moron but true genius”.
Believe it or not, some people are only better with their security practices than 99.99% of humans instead of 99.999%. pfft, total idiots, right? Now let us pretend we are 100% muahahhahah so smart
I have no idea what you’re trying to tell me, sorry. I do assume it was something totally devastating, though, so consider me totally devastated. You can stop the hostility now, I just made a joke at your expense, it’s not a big deal, honestly.
Also, I highly recommend reactivating MFA on your account. It’s a good thing to have, generally. Yeah, it can suck when it doesn’t work but now you know how hard it is for someone unauthorized to get into your account.
There are multiple other security measures in place on my account thanks.
It does seem like you were a little upset by my joke. Probably because the imagery of a Terminator coming to kill a person over a find my phone request is an actual joke. Not just sarcasm designed to shame someone. Whatever, jerky weirdo.
RIght, you just happened to forget about those when you really needed them. But yeah, I apologize for giving you advice. That was obviously wrong of me.
Also, yes, incredibly bothered by your joke that definitely wasn’t sarcasm designed to shame me at all since you apparently meant that “imagery of a Terminator” literally. OK. I get it. You take jokes really well. Can we be done now?
