@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange It seems to me the appropriate form of two factor for an in person event would be... an in person item. Like a physical piece of paper.

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange Co-signed! So much of our current state of affairs and the future seems deliberately anti-human.

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange Kind of thing which also often makes me wonder what happens if someone looses their phone and they got all their sms/2fa stuff in it. Wouldn't even be surprised that it would be a struggle to buy a new sim card, and well last time I bought a cellphone they wanted the number for the delivery (usually to ping beforehand or in case bell/intercom doesn't works).

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange Also, in the UK landline phones are being switched off. They can only be used via a broadband router.

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange while I support 2FA, passkeys, etc for security reasons, this goes to show that smartphones and certain essential softwares should be accessible and affordable/free to all. We made everything more accessible through digitalization, but handed the key to the gate to a select few corporations, hiking prices and excluding those that just want to participate, but lack the will or funds to do so.

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange Most of us have. We've also internalized a fact from experience: anything _not_ using some form of 2FA will be compromised within a couple of months, and the owner _will not_ be able to recover from it. If you use a public computer make that a week, tops, and likely less than 24 hours. Some forms of 2FA, like SMS or voice call or email, are useless because they're so easy to compromise. The only reliable ones I know of are TOTP or an authenticator app (passkey) on a smartphone, ...

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange I think about 95% of adults in wealthy countries have a smart phone So about 95% have access to online registration ? of th remaining 5% a lot are grouches like me, I don't have a smartphone but can obviously can use the internet of the remaining what, 1% of adults who don't have a smartphone or a laptop, maybe 50% can access these things at a library ? roughly ? very few systems work smoothly for the last half percet

@TindrasGrove@infosec.exchange I teach people how to use technology in a public library and I see things like this (people needing to sign up for things, our local country fair is still blissfully offline for signups) nearly every week. Even just signing in to an email account or facebook from a new device or IP address (and we're the library so we're always a "new" IP address compared to someone's home) requires a hokey-pokey of multiple devices. It's a mess and it's dispiriting to people already struggling.
