Why Do Companies Not Use Existing 2FA Standards?
  • I did do this. Took me forever cause there were no directions for how to do it on windows. I figured it out eventually. I'm also kinda worried whoever created it could see my totp secret key.

    You can use hardware keys with fidelity? Like yubico?

  • Unless you get a fidelity account. Then you need one totp app for all your other accounts and symmantec VIP proprietary shit for fidelity. Text book example of how not to implement 2fa

    Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser
  • I want to use Firefox exclusively but there are certain features on other browsers I can't go without. I have Firefox on all my devices but mainly use Samsung internet on my phone. I love that it can replace the default video player for websites. I also have edge on my phone cause their text to speech is the best I've ever seen

    YSK: there's a type of common hallucination (often scary) that happens shortly after waking up. You can move and talk while seeing it and it can last between a few seconds up to a minute
  • Sorry for the late reply. I was in high school when this happened. I had to get my stomach scoped. While they were getting ready to put me to sleep they asked if I wanted to do laughing gas. I said sure. I had never tried it and it sounded fun. While they were doing this I thought to myself that I wanted to try to force myself to stay awake and see if I could do it. Or at least make a mental note of everything that happened to me and observe it. The laughing gas started to kick in and I started to laugh uncontrollably. One of the nurses hadn't seen it used before and couldn't help but laugh at my non stop laughing. I don't remember an IV so I think the anastesia was administered with the laughing gas. Time started to get strange, everything slowed way down. A tingling sensation was spreading across my body. This tingle turned into sharp jabbing pains as if I was being stabbed by thousands of tiny needles. At the same time sounds around me started sounding echoing and distant. I was starting to panic so I decided I should let the doc know. That's when I realized I couldn't move. I could barely move my eyes. I also realized I was still laughing. I couldn't speak either. I tried to scream but the only voice that actually screamed was the one iny head. I was terrified and everyone else in the operating room seemed to be happy. The pain from the tingling was getting worse and my ears were ringing so loud I couldn't here anything. I felt like I was stuck in a black room with 2 windows to the outside world (my eyes). It felt like an eternity I was stuck like that. In reality it was probably less than 10 minutes cause the procedure hadn't started yet. I tried to force myself to fall asleep but couldn't. I started to wish I could just die cause that would be better than the hell I was in. Then blackness for a split second.

    The next thing I knew I was in a different hospital room crying and super nauseous.

  • I've had it a few times. Most times have been pleasant. I saw my deceased grandparents and it made me feel happy. Sleep paralysis isn't always scary. And one time I induced it while I was going into surgery. That was the worst thing I've ever experienced

  • Huh I wonder if this is what happened to me a few weeks ago. I "woke up" I was sitting in my bed and there was this large squirming mass in my closet. It's hard to describe but think millions of worms. It was moving towards me. I moved to the other side of my bed and could see things moving on the floor. These worms were also coming through the (concrete) walls. I then shot awake screaming while waking up. Turned on the lights and saw nothing. It is the strangest and scariest thing I've ever had happen while sleeping

  • Last night my sister called me in a panic. She got a call from a "usbank" claiming that they managed security for her credit union on weekends (first 🚩). They listed off her SSN and other credit information to prove to her they were real. I wasn't there so I couldn't tell her that this was another major red flag. She gave them her banks account number. My other family members were there and called her credit union to check. The real bank walked her through what to do.

    She didn't lose any money but came scary close to it. I've had her freeze her credit. Put up a alert on her credit. Changed all her passwords (saved in 1password). Set up token based authentication and I'm trying to convince her to use Google voice for sms 2fa.

    Should she even bother with dark web monitoring or anything like that?

    Edit: phone number used by scammers: 12104170000 I don't believe this is their actual number. It was likely spoofed. Be cautious before trying to scambait it

    I don't use MJ much and because of this my tolerance is quite low compared to most people here. When I do use it I often like to get high enough where I can watch a movie and laugh through it (whether it's funny or not)and mostly understand what's happening.

    A few nights ago I took 2.5mg and waited. Felt nothing so I took 5mg more. About an hour later I was starting to feel pretty damn high. Another hour in and I was tripping mad hard. This used to cause me anxiety cause it scared me. But this time I just rode it. Took a shower, thought I fell asleep, etarled myself when I realized I was still awake. Then lied in bed letting my thoughts go wild. It was fairly fun but I don't like getting that high very much
