Robin's screed on #g-d about Coinbase and Authy 2FA (all lines are PRIVMSGs to #gentoo-desktop by robink)

Robin's rant on #gentoo-desktop

Nick PRIVMSG
robink Heh, Coinbase is making Firefox suck up most of the CPU because who knows
robink Even SimCity for Windows would give you humorous BS as it spun up
robink "Reticulating splines..."
robink Thankfully, WebIFs these days (especially AJAXy ones like this that remind you they're doing something on the clienside by spinning up your CPU fan) typically don't leave your data in a non-ideal state if you send off FINs and close the client context.
robink Buhbye, Coinbase tab
robink They also want me to install some 3rd-party 2FA application that I've never heard of
robink Which wants to tie itself to my cell phone number (why? Google Authenticator just works, and doesn't even try to persist the 2FA keys online).
robink "We are sending you and SMS."
robink ^- That was about 5 minutes ago. I haven't received an SMS. Maybe I should be looking for and SMS.
robink Had them call me.
robink They displayed a 2-digit number. I received a call about 20 seconds later. The IVR on the other end said "Please enter your 3-digit security number."
robink "OK..."
robink enter the 2-digit code with DTMF. "You code is correct. Thank you."
robink Oh man I'm so sorry
robink I did it again
robink This was meant for #gentoo-chat
