That’s what they call, authenticating bigly.

What? No need to identify the squares with motorcycles or parts of motorcycles 27 times followed by nine tries at the busses in squares, 17 Greek alphabet symbols and back to 3 more motorcycle screens?

It’s just easier to get a job at the NSA where the badge lets you log into your own computer in one step ... along with everyone else’s.

First, my compliments to both you and the "Bee" for your impeccable timing for this article.

I've been a galley slave to windows/various CAD/CAM/CAE sustems ever since DOS, but this afternoon marks the last stage of my conversion to Ubuntu and I've even got something laughing at Microsoft to read while I wait for the last of the backups to complete transfer.

Still going to have one desktop running a dualboot W10Pro/Ubuntu for old time's sake (actually only until I satisfy Grandma that none of the pictures of kids/grandkids/great-grandkids are missing) but based on my experience so far I wouldn't bet it'll be much later than Easter before that W10's locked down into a VM that is all but forgotten.

My final grades on Windows over the years: Did okay work once you got away from Windows browsers, "security" systems and the all-too frequent updates (vista etc) that were more PITA than they were worth.

It's funny unless you have any sort of military access and you're required to change your password every 90 days.

"Must be a minimum of 15 characters to include three numbers, three capital letters, and three symbols other than !,@,#,$,%,^,&, or *. Two consecutive entries cannot match any of your previous twenty passwords"

And people wonder why we have a bunch of stickies on our display screens.

Starting today, users will need to enter their usernames and passwords to log in, followed by an authentication code sent to their phones. "After that," Parkinson said, "they'll just need to type in their email addresses, last 4 digits of their phone numbers, their mothers' maiden names, street addresses, shoe sizes,favorite sports teams...

I decided to try the DuckDuckGo browser on my computer and phone - amazing how many tracking attempts are stopped from apps and websites...I have an old desktop that I’ve left plugged in to keep the battery alive - It was a backup but I think it’s time to turn it into a LINUX machine and practice until I’m comfortable making the full move from Microsoft and staying away from the overpriced Apple - I hear Apple tracks less, but still gathers significant data...of them all, LINUX seems to be the least intrusive.
