This is how a lot of companies now communicate with me over email:
Email from company: There is an extremely important message! Log in to view
Me: click the login link
Website: Enter your username and password
Me: entered
Website: Enter your TOTP code
Me: launched TOTP app, found the code and entered
Website: Would you like to add SMS as your second factor authentication
Me: absolutely not
Website: here is your super important message formatted in a PDF
And throughout the whole process I was thinking, you know you could’ve included that message in the email body. Even if a PDF is integral to it, there is a low-tech solution called email attachments that could’ve been used to avoid all this rigmarole.
