Am I missing an option or can't you turn off 2FA with SMS codes in Facebook? I set Authenticator Plus up and wanted to use only it, but it seems like I have to keep both, so what's even the point?

poo poo, most banks won't let you turn off SMS codes.

Favourite pet is probably public record for many people. Favourite teacher less so.

That was literally what I said over the phone to a financial organization CSR, which was sufficient to pass the authentication. Proving 2 things: they store them plain-text, and static KBA is more security theater than the TSA's nut grabs.

I always get the executive pat-down after that whole 'lol, hot girl in line, better save those body pics' scandal, and it's fun to shoot the poo poo with the poor TSA guy while he does his thing.

I recently setup a RSA SecurID 2FA system. When you created an account on the user side it wants you to set security questions. It had a selection of questions you could choose from, and those few questions that seemed any good I couldn't remember the answer for.

I actively avoid, if at all possible, using libraries whose repos and community are based at sourceforge.

If they've remained on SF through all the poo poo (and remain on a website that works and looks like its from 2005) It's just a signal to me that the maintainers don't give a crap...particularly when it's so easy to switch to github or bitbucket or whatever.

I used that old version of utorrent for years but it made me pretty uncomfortable using software that would never receive security patches, advertised itself on trackers, and punched a hole through my NAT to communicate directly with whoever contacted it
