Re: IBM requiring 2FA

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

I live in a stucco house with a steel roof.  Once we got the steel roof
installed our cell reception when from 1 bar to zero.

I installed a cell repeater and all is good now.

But I do agree, all this 2FA is getting a little out of hand.  Can't wait
for 3FA... (password, text and then you have to probably do something like
post a tik tok video with a specific phrase in it).
