11 months agoThis is what i have to do to log into microsoft fuckin teams on my work laptop when i work from home…
- Unencrypt my laptop hardrive
- Log into my OS
- Log into the VPN
- Log into teams
- Use the authenticator app on my phone to enter the code that is on my screen
- Use my fingerprint on my phone to verify that i am the person using my phone…
Step 5 was introduced a few months ago because the other steps weren’t secure enough. This is why half my colleagues aren’t available when they work from home…
I suggested that we just use slack as our work chat and leave teams as a red herring to dissapoint extremely talented hackers.
Yes i am a “monthly” user of facebook. I log on about once a month as the strata for my building foes basically everything through facebook.
I look at it like internet explorer a few years ago, it has its claws in everything and its just easier to keep using than for people to find an alternative that satisfys everyone.
