The number of times I have to enter my password/2FA to execute a SQL query in production at work has increased today to *six*. To change an env var it can be up to eight. I feel very secure now.

@keirFox more passwords = more safe. Like wearing a dozen condoms.

@keirFox Reminds me about how to log into my work machine, I need to enter a bitlocker password, a windows password, a vpn password, a 2fa code (2x) and a face scan (2x). That's 7 security steps to get onto the normal network. Then it's more steps to access any "secure" part of the network.

@keirFox the CSO assures us there is no risk of 2FA Fatigue. Please ignore the exasperated expressions of the IT staffers.
