Re: Zuckerberg’s Facebook Page
Faecebook and Zuckerberg actually believe that their fatuous drivel platform is important enough to need protection.
Despite the fact that I dislike either, they're partially right. Social media is a key information source for ID theft, but that tends to start with PUBLIC information - the stuff that FB already facilitates and even encourages (the badly mislabelled "social" bit).
What I don't get is why they chose a hardware device - that's costly and, frankly, unnecessary - regular OTP would have worked fine too and it's not that helpful on a smartphone as you need a special version for that with Bluetooth or NFC. Even if one of the public apps for it is called "Google authenticator" it's easy to create another one as the process if public domain.
But hey, I don't care. I don't use it.
