  • In case anybody's curious about what those are:

    The biggest reason they use phone calls or SMS, however, is because they don't want to go to the hassle of getting an in-house MFA service (a TOTP backend, in other words), approved, pen tested, analyzed, verified... all things considered, it's faster and easier to go with a service like Twilio that already did all that legwork. A couple of years back I worked for a company in just that position, and after we did all the legwork, research, and consultation with the independent third party specialists trying to run our own TOTP would have easily doubled the yearly cost because of all the compliance stuff.

  • It always was going to, because of the amount of money thrown at it (and the amount of money that could be saved by firing workers to try to replace them with AI software). Only now are folks actually talking about what was found in the product announcements (because now there's a reason to).
