I work on a fairly diverse team and we’re extremely lucky to have several women and people originally from places like Ethiopia, and they are hands down some of the smartest and nicest people on the team. Entitled, misogynistic, and racist behavior like that is extremely discouraging. If people are that closed minded about society, I would absolutely expect them to be similarly bereft of the capability to keep up with the changes in technology.

Yeah, I've run into a few people like that in my career and I instantly give them my respect. If you've put up with the immense amount of bullshit that you've no doubt been exposed to, you clearly have a passion for what you do or you'd be out the door.

And here I am about to start a lovely fake-degree program the local community college offers in infosec.

E: whoops, the masters program that wasn’t supposed to accept me did. I guess I get to do that?

I’d say it’s still worth it for the experience alone. If you get a degree in IT or comp sci, having experience with security is a great bonus on your résumé.

In "You're Not Helping" news, the New York Times spreads a bunch of FUD about 2FA in their famously terrible editorial section. While it is true SMS/phone call codes are garbage, and codes in general can be phished, this kind of doubt casting is not what we need when we're struggling to get most websites to implement any kind of 2FA at all, and even a tenth of users to even turn it on where it is a available.

It's in favor of non-phishable two factor, still suggests phishable two factor is good overall, and calls out mandatory password cycling as dumb. Seems like a good article to me.

That's not what factor means.

Your password is a factor
Holding a device is a factor
Your biometrics are a factor
A generated key is a factor

Two of those are easily phishable.

Isn't "generated key" another way of describing "holding a device"?

The "thing you have" factor can be either phishable or not phishable depending on how it's implemented.

No, because there are many ways to get a generated key that are device independent. E-mail and SMS being two.

And there are also other ways to ensure that someone has a device that don't require generating a code. Push notifications, device white-listing being two.

I think I see what you mean, but I would use different categories:

Thing You Have: Covers having a device, whether it communicates directly or gives you a key to type. Also includes printouts with many keys.

Someone Else's Authentication: This covers email and SMS codes. It also covers Oauth.

The Fool

OAuth is an authentication standard, and would never be considered a factor in a multi-factor setup.

And the traditional high level authentication factor categories are:

Thing you know
Thing you have
Thing you are

Yes, those are the normal categories.

What I'm saying is that "generated key", depending on how you interpret it, either falls under "thing you have" or letting someone else do the authentication for you. "Generated key" shouldn't be on a list of factors.

So, twenty minutes of research later, pretend I said "OpenID Connect", which is a specific use of OAuth. I didn't realize it was so complicated.

The point is that clicking that "log in with X" button is pretty close to being emailed a code, as far as security is concerned. I'm proving that I already authenticated with someone else. I'm not directly proving knowledge, device, or biometric.

Is that acceptable?

I'm a Friend of Rodney Nano
i think it helps to distinguish how you authenticate to a particular security domain (login creds, key pair, totp token, sms otp etc) and how successful auth is stored or communicated between different systems in the domain (session cookie, jwt string, kerberos ticket, oauth tokens)

having something of the second type gets you the same access as having successfully gone through the first, but theyre not "factors" in the sense of things the end user is asked for at the point of auth

No, because OpenID Connect just adds an identity layer to OAuth, and is even further away from being an authentication factor than OAuth is.

I would say that OpenID counts as a factor if and only if an emailed code counts as a factor.

I'm willing to agree that neither one counts as a factor, if you want.

Just turn it off in settings for now. (on your Mac and iPad, as well) Also, Apple is supposed to be releasing a hot fix to address it this week.

I’m not saying it’s not bad, because it is. But it’s also easy to mitigate until an official fix is released.
