My grandpa used to joke about Cocaine in Coke, it is horribly unoriginal. He's just so dumb.

I mean no ones made that exact joke, but who but the richest idiot in the world could.

It's funnier given that Elmo drinks caffeine-free diet coke

its not even a joke, it really did have cocaine in it. i dont know if its possible to "steal" a factoid

Point of order, that's just a slightly obscure fact. A factoid is something shaped like a fact, ie, not one.

So I’ve worked on identity management systems and this is gonna be loving hilarious.

SMS is by far the worst form of MFA but it’s also really hard to lose. As long as you have a phone, you can receive text pins. The problem is texts cost money and even at fractions of a penny it’s probably costing Twitter a fortune. International texts can be orders of magnitude more expensive.

App based MFA is much better security wise but requires users to not gently caress up and lose their phones without backing up their TOTP codes.

My work wanted me to start forcing customers to “upgrade” to TOTP and we found that those customers contacted support 10x as often and support calls/processes to reset MFA are expensive because if you don’t properly vet those requests you might as well not have MFA.

Take away SMS mfa and twitter users are gonna lose access to their accounts like crazy I guarantee it.

I've had some of my greatest ideas at 4 am on uppers.

Granted I didn't remember to write them down because something that cool will stick in the brain meat for certain.

And the ones I did write down were in very bizarre hieroglyphics shortcode that I would definitely know how to interpret when the birds wake me up a couple hours from then.

The objectively funniest thing here would be if Elon had actually uncovered massive SMS toll fraud by various telcos.


e: though much more likely any amount of "Scam SMS" twitter is complaining about was from hackers trying to comprimise people's accounts and running into 2FA stopping them from doing it (which Elon is now going to turn off).

Surely this will make Twitter trend towards breakeven! Heck, I’d pay just for the sheer love of 2FA sms messages, when my phone dings it makes me feel like I made a new friend every time I log in

related question, but is there a reason just about all banks still use sms 2fa instead of allowing an any totp app?

is it just good old corp glacial change? also why the gently caress does Chase have 8 digits. or why does Steam do an alphanum?

Just for the record for anyone who cares

SMS 2FA is the least secure version of 2FA when SIM spoofing exists and can't be fixed.

if something doesn't offer a code through google authenticator or authy it doesn't loving matter

Yeah, just use Google or Apple authenticator app instead of SMS auth.

This is dumb but it should have no actual tangible effect on any Twitter user with a smartphone who actually cares about securing their account.
