We didn't get jet packs. But we still have passwords? That's madness.
Why doesn't the government use YubiKey or similar?
- askiiart 4y agoWell, Lockheed Martin uses RSA SecurID TOTP tokens.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoPerhaps, but do note LM isn't the gov, or an agency. It's a private vendor. I would hope the gov at least hires vendors that are serious about sec, especially ones that trade in national security.
- jonas-w 4y agoJokes on you, the german government still actively uses fax. So passwords went the same way as the fax machine, they are still going strong. "If it works it works"
- chiefalchemist 4y agoWell, passwords don't work. And I'd be interested to know if those Germ fax machine are encrypted. Or are they effective password-less.
