There are dozens of fish or fish-like emoji (e.g., 🐟 🐠🎣🐡🦈🐬🐳🐋🐟.𓆝𓆟) In fact, there are so many that, if I sent you a random one, a third party wouldn&#39;t have a good chance of guessing which one I&#39;d sent. This means we could adopt a new form of 2FA based on sending fish emoji “In addition to your password, please log in with your one-time cod”
