I love me some ID.me and think every bank and financial institution should be required to use it. It goes so far beyond to do good multi-factor auth and even accounts for the un-homed and un-phoned in their multifactor. Thousands of peopl

Google auth is not the only authenticator that supports TOTP. Any time a site tells you to use google authenticator you should be using a better service like 1password, bitwarden, lastpass, etc... to scan the QR code and store the TOTP cod

Funny enough this is exactly how vendor engagement goes when you are publicly traded. They can see your books more or less and charge wildly different numbers to different companies. It has nothing to do with how much you use the product

For me its a jittery nightmare. I can't even play a video in vlc and still have firefox scroll smoothly on another monitor. I can turn my desktop experience into a slide show if I set the refresh rate on all three monitors to 144hz.

MDM is supported by the watch. My organization requires a 10 digit code for watches plus requires biometrics to be resolved on the primary device prior to the watch being able to control that device or interact with apps on that device

If your organization uses beyondcorp for zero trust among several other Google products, they only work in Chrome. Many MDM solutions also only do hardware verification through chrome during the auth loop for gsuite and not other browsers.

The main issue is every startup and small business ties themselves to the gsuite apps and ultimately falls down the path of using and then requiring gsuite auth and often chrome as a whole for all work browsing. It is quintessentially the n
