@hakui you vill type the code and be happy. And realistically speaking how's that going to prevent boomers from fucking it up when phishermen add a mfa code field, to their schemes?

@romin previously it was only for o365 and it only prompted every week, now it prompts every day and they're adding more things to require mfa

@romin boomers in the office falling for the most obvious phishes so management has to show they're doing something about Security
-

@romin it makes it easier actually, since the boomers get even more desensitized and just fill in the prompt without verifying it

@hakui there's a website that does this to me. Can confirm it's as nightmarish as it sounds.

>search "mfa powerapps" out of curiosity
>some pajeet built their own where the start screen randoms an otp and sends an email to the user
>if i added such a function my users would have to mfa to get to their email inbox to get to the otp email

@mangeurdenuage the only good thing about mfa is that i can now reuse my passwords :smug1:

@hakui
>let add another layer of complexity to be sure that we are secure
Password: first factor
ID: second factor
:honk:
justified when the context does justify it, but in context they don't understand that mfa is used wild spread because of uneducated users bad practices and that doesn't fully solve the issue at all since it's a human fucking issue that cannot be solved by adding more complexity.

@hakui @romin You joke but I have witnessed such people. The story is that after I fixed with the greatest care my brother's adobe suit workstation of the time where he worked, it needed 1h30 minutes to boot due too tons of malware instead mainly via usb, after I passed on it, it needed 15 minutes, two weeks after that my brother told me the responsible of the IT infra came and told that VLC media player was malware and uninstalled it, update adobe and went away.

@tomey @hakui during covid we were working remotely and nobody could get the yubikeys working on remote desktop so every desktop in the company had a yubikey plugged into it in the office

@hakui I have to MFA like 50 times per day, it's annoying.
-
Embed this notice
oh my god what lol
-
Embed this notice
does this mean the Yubikeys don't even need physical touch to activate?
WHYYYYYYYYYYY this is the worst :supaburn:

@feld @tomey @hakui it's an option I think
-
Embed this notice
@Moon @feld How? Why is this even a option.
-
Embed this notice
Yeah it's an option for Yubikeys but every IT security team should be configuring them to require touch. Allowing them to "just work" without a human knowing it's being used is insane.

I almost built this for myself at a previous job but didn't want to get fired if they found out

@hakui Well there it is - the primary usecase of MFA.
