I hate to tell you this, but it’s a factory full of children in China. Those tiny fingers can churn out the codes.
Excuse you. This is shit posting from the loo. Not a shower thought.
Imagine having to think of a new 6-digit number every few seconds!
Write them all down on the first day, then just reuse the list. Don’t get caught.
8675309…dammit, thats too many numbers…
How do you know my Lemmy password?
Hey, do you know Jenny too?!
Sounds exhausting
Nah, just roll some dice: http://gamesbyemail.com/news/diceomatic
Yeah those 2FA guys have it the worst
I have actually have the codes in two different apps since ones behind an account so not only does the little elf in my phone have the to think of new numbers he has to make sure the numbers are synced up
Just go sequentially
ya’ll are weird this is how i get income i have an offshore account teeming with crypto from my two-factor homey just gotta take a shit over there in that bush right now
Reminds of of these
My guy was really lazy the other day. He just sent me back my phone number as a code.
I hate that guy/gal. RCS end to end encryption is already a thing and they didn’t enable it. SMH my head 🤦♂️
At least we know where he got them …
The people who downvoted this are the same people that I think Puscifer were singing about in “The Remedy”.
at some point, he just started smashing his head on the keyboard
Me too thanks
Fun fact those are actually emailed most of the time. MMS format your phonenumber@carrier.tld
Which is why they can sometimes get delayed for hours
Deeply incorrect as most carriers have the SMS/MMS gateways disabled by default. Eg, you have to enable that function on Verizon. Also you’d see an email as the sending party, not a phone number/shortcode
I mean I use the system literally daily but okay I don’t know if we’re an approved sender or what or how that works. I just know it gets sent out in an email.
