Ein Bekannter ist zur Zeit in Ausbildung zum #Allgemeinmediziner und sucht einen #Job als #MFA oder #Arzthelfer in oder bei #Hannover. Falls du etwas weißt/eine Stelle anzubieten hast oder du wen kennst, der oder die etwas wissen könnte, schreib mir einfach. :) Danke <3!
Key point is this: "companies and end users should always use multi-factor authentication to lockdown accounts when possible and ensure it’s compliant with the #FIDO standard when available. #MFA available through push notifications or one-time passwords provided by text, email, or authenticator apps are better than nothing, but as events over the past few years have demonstrated, they are themselves easily defeated in credential phishing attacks" #webauthn#2fa
My Google Pixel 4a 5G died this afternoon and it won't turn on - I am trying all the rebooting / forced restarting options, but nothing is working so far.
The key lesson I am learning is how dependent I am on everything on my phone - my music is on my phone, audio books are on my phone, #MFA is on my phone, entertainment in the form of games are on my phone.
I knew I was dependent, but not just how dependent I was.
Cybersecurity researchers have figured out a way to exploit what seems to be a bug in Apple’s password reset feature in a new scam that can lock you out of your iPhone if you’re not careful.
I remember the day I switched to Authy because it would not vendor-lockin me for #TOTP codes. Alas, today is the day where I ditched it because Authy - without warning - stopped supporting the desktop app, even hurrying the deadline by 5 months! That was 70% of the total notification window as far as I could tell.
Requiring a mobile device for #2FA#MFA is not quite the same for me, and it can get lost (or stolen) way too easily for my taste.
Passwordless is great, but perhaps you need to consider basic MFA to start? If that's you, it's time for a refresher. Spoiler: it's not heavy key fobs any more.
🆕 blog! “Review: An NFC reader/writer with USB-C - ACR1252U-MF”

I needed to read and write NFC cards on Linux. I only buy USB-C peripherals now, so I found the brilliantly named "ACR1252U-MF" which appears to be the only USB-C reader on the market. Total cost was about £35 on eBay. It's a cheap and light plastic box with a short USB …
I needed to read and write NFC cards on Linux. I only buy USB-C peripherals now, so I found the brilliantly named "ACR1252U-MF" which appears to be the only USB-C reader on the market. Total cost was about £35 on eBay.
It's a cheap and light plastic box with a short USB cord. When you plug it in, there's a flashing light which can't be disabled. When it is powered up, or it detects and NFC chip, it makes this weird and scratchy beep:
🆕 blog! “Giving the finger to MFA - a review of the Z1 Encrypter Ring from Cybernetic”
★★★★☆
I have mixed feelings about Multi-Factor Authentication. I get why it is necessary to rely on something which isn't a password but - let's be honest here - it is a pain juggling between SMS, TOTP apps, proprietary apps, and mag…
But, it turns out that the shop does not process purchase requests, resulting in an incomplete page with nothing to click on.
And the support email bounces as nonexistent.
I hope that you would incorporate that information in your review and/or boost this as a real world experience.
Am Donnerstag legten bundesweit rund 2.000 Beschäftigte in Arztpraxen die Arbeit nieder, der Verband medizinischer Fachberufe hatte zum Warnstreik aufgerufen. Die Forderung: bessere Arbeitsbedingungen und mehr Gehalt. 🩺
Praxismanagerin Jana August wollte mit dem Warnstreik auch für mehr Anerkennung ihres Berufs kämpfen. "Wir sind diejenigen, die den Laden am Laufen halten", sagt die Hamburgerin. 🥼
and no, the Magic Keyboard with Touch ID when paired with #VisionPro does not permit the use of Touch ID
i even asked this to an Apple salesperson and they didn't know and they scoffed at the question because "there's Optic ID why would you want a second factor of authentication?!?"
Heute streiken in vielen #Arztpraxen die medizinischen Fachangestellten (#MFA). Sie fordern höhere Löhne und bessere Arbeitsbedingungen.
Dass die Situation in den Arztpraxen angespannt ist, merken Patient:innen schon längst. Um an Termine zu kommen, braucht man immer öfter starke Nerven.
Ein Ursache der Terminprobleme liegt in den Missständen, auf die MFAs heute aufmerksam machen. Es ist eine von 5 Ursachen, die ich für meinem Text bei @Krautreporter gefunden habe.
The FIDO specification defines a form of Universal 2nd Factor (U2F) when users log in to a system. Rather than relying on one-time codes sent via SMS, or displayed on a phone screen, these are physical hardware tokens which are used to supplement passwords. When used with websites, this technology is also known as WebAuthn.
