I use `pass` on all my personal dev workstations and phone (because I happen to own YubiKeys/OpenPGP cards with my PGP key on them anyway; would probably use `age`/SOPS instead if I already hadn't committed to the PGP ecosyst

AWS allows you to set `credential_process` and have it point to a script that fetches your credential from wherever you like and print it to stdout.

Back in my iPhone days, I once got bitten by a bug where the app developer failed to raise that flag "dear OS, I'm in the middle of presenting a ticket for optical scanning, and it would be really amazing if you could just, you kn

That's why I'm strongly against remote attestation of general-purpose hardware. I use a handheld card reader with a display as a 2FA for my bank transactions. It shows me the transaction and, after I confirm, sends a TAN to the ba

These are two unrelated problems. One is "payment systems use imperfect heuristics in their own operations to fulfil their regulatory obligations." The problem I was referring to is "banks push 2FA onto end users but are unwi

> Secondly, it's a lot more convenient to use a device that's always with you than a dedicated standalone single-use computer. The price the owner pays for this is that they're locked out of their own expensive general-pur

One of the threat models is that a fraudster tricks a non-technical user into installing malware, which then manipulates the user interface so that next time the user tries to send money to Bob, it actually goes to Mallory. That's a le

None of the things you mentioned inherently require the user to own (and babysit) an expensive general-purpose computing device produced by tracking-obsessed adtech giants and with software obsolescence built into the product.

Let them know. Write a letter to the CEO. And vote with your wallet and switch banks if you can. There's always a bank willing to offer you a non-app 2FA scheme.

Thanks. Are you referring to the dungeon level (depth) or the experience level?

I've been playing on and off for 15 years, sometimes daily for months on end. The deepest I managed to go is level 11, and as soon as I enter the Big Room, I die. In fact, I went past level 8 for the first time this year. I've rea

I can see where they're coming from. However, they could refuse servicing modded devices, and instead gate their support form with a mandatory question that says, "Have you ever uploaded third-party mods to the FPGA?"

Telecoms shut down 3G once 4G had rolled out. TV networks killed DVB-T after DVB-T2 went live. Banks have abandoned FinTS for app-based 2FA. Your comment compares a paper-based, non-digital process with a digital one. My criticism, however,
