Föderation EN Di 16.07.2024 20:52:50 @todb I never change my numbers (we even have laws to more easily transfer them to other providers in Germany) but it's not a password for me and I always encourage people to not use it for 2fa but to use an app or a hardware key (or just both) when a service offers it. |

Föderation EN Di 16.07.2024 22:28:35 The retinal scanners seen in Half-Life would probably still hold up as an authentication mechanism. The scanners aren't under attacker control, and there's no apparent way for an attacker to tamper with the scanner or input a forged biometric (i.e. hold a printout of retinas in front of the scanner instead of your actual eyes) without tipping off the nearby security guard. But yeah, those are the lengths you've got to go to, to make biometric authentication secure. |
