It’s never a Quick Question – it starts at 2 mins, goes to 5, then 10, maybe 20, and possibly ends at 30. That’s not a bad thing; you need information, and someone can help you.

The Authenticator App Problem

My authenticator app is overflowing with sites – everyone wants a code for me to log in with now. Do they need the code? I don’t know. But now that one does it, they all do it. I am using different codes for different apps. We’re not solving the problem of authentication; we’re simply duplicating it across every piece of infrastructure we now touch.
