Wait, can you eli5 why multifactor authentication (MFA) (and maybe also 2-factor authentication apps) is “fuck off” levels?
Is it privacy concerns or something bigger like more points of failure for overall security? Or smaller like not every one has/wants a smart phone?
If I read it correctly the "fuck off" level refers to some proprietary app for the selected login. The other two are standard code app and yubikey.
This is also how I read the meme. Codes are fine, tokens are fine. Your proprietary spyware app is NOT fine (Microsoft) and I hope you get fucked.
You talking about MS authenticator? In what way is that proprietary or spyware?
They offer other options for Microsoft accounts. Using it as a normal TOTP app is the same as any other Authenticator app.
It’s most likely the number matching requirement that the other person doesn’t like, or their employer has a policy that’s annoying.
Not the OP, but I have to use the stupid Microsoft authenticator for work, and half the time it's hibernated and doesn't wake up when prompted, and when I manually open the "verify login" tab, it spits out an OTP but doesn't recheck for that 2 digit number number I have to enter.
And the login prompt on Windows doesn't have a "resend" button, I can merely click "I don't have access to the authenticator app", and then it offers me the option to... Enter a manual code (courtesy of the authenticator app) or use the authenticator app. Dumb as fuck.
If then I opt for the authenticator app instead of the override code, there's a ~30% chance the app will not accept the new number because it's still expecting the former one, if you're too quick to enter it.
Piece of garbage.
Ah. Thanks
