But don't they just "call" from a different number? Or a random number each time? There's no real verification on the number being called from - its specified _by_ the caller a lot of the time. So unless the phone compan

And how is it better than a password + password manager? Literally everything about what is described is worse than a password + manager.

It is relatively easy to pick a password length/composition that's pretty much impossible to guess, too. So the benefit you're list is for the company (that has to deal with people picking bad passwords), not the person using

But most password programs do this too, if you install the plugin (which you pretty much need if you want those same programs to do the passkey thing, anyways)

If you store the key in Bitwarden or Keepass, what makes it different from a password?

Is that online activation Steam or is it a third party thing? Steam allows selling games that have external DRM like that. I think they, themselves, don't do it. That doesn't invalidate your other point.

Can't you download your game off steam and play it forever; and if it can't connect to the service, it will just let you play offline? Sure, that loses out on the ability to transfer it to a friend, but it's better.

And yet it directly speaks to the comment it was replying to. It makes the point that RSUs are generally multi-year; so if you're getting them with _any_ frequency, you never get to the point of "the last RSU vests".

There main problem, at least in my experience, is that there's a direct conflict in it - There are people that work better from home and get more done there - There are people that work better in the office, with people around them Reg

And both of them are wrong, because they _should_ be trying to figure out what works best for the person; not what worked best for _them_ and forcing it on the person.
