Wow, the #serial checking of #microsoft #windows 95 was super simple: https://youtube.com/watch?v=cwyH59nACzQ Even without the assumption of the internet, back then you could have easily implemented some custom key based on a #serial #number baked into the #disk ... They were just super lazy, maybe a rushed product launch or something.
Pretty good #article on #mfa #security and #notifications https://xeiaso.net/blog/push-2fa-conside.. I'm really not sold on MFA being the answer here. It's cumbersome and encourages people to #bypass it. To #login to some of my #accounts , I need receive three phone calls. I never check the #number and just do the #operations of the #keypad without #listening . I even thought about #scripting this process.
Interesting #advice for #investors - never use a #rounded #number when creating an #offer https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/when-negotiat.. Could be useful.
