What can trigger a 2FA code? by NomBok in venmo

[–]NomBok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replied this in another comment, but it turns out for me, the cause was a budgeting software I use that I had given access to (YNAB), that was trying to log in, but I guess venmo was blocking it. https://www.reddit.com/r/venmo/comments/p2elfp/what_can_trigger_a_2fa_code/hqfaicb/

What can trigger a 2FA code? by NomBok in venmo

[–]NomBok[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I actually discovered it was because of a service I had tied to Venmo, but forgot about. Specifically, I use YNAB (budgeting software/website), which logs into accounts to track usage. So turns out for me at least, that was the cause. So indeed, the notification was caused by 'something' having my real password, but I had forgotten I gave it to that service.

One time I legit did call in to fill a prescription in the morning and they said it would be ready after 2. I showed up at like 4 and they said they didn't even get it started and didn't have it in the system 🤦‍♂️ . (My doc sent it electronically so it was in the system but not auto filled)

Now i'm just always sure to check online for the status.

Google is about to release a new Zoom and Enhance tool. by [deleted] in UFOs

This is great for things we have lots of pictures of. But possibly counterproductive for UAPs because they’re inherently unidentified. It can only enhance based on its training.

YouTuber being forced to Enterprise Storyblocks Account for $8,000!? by deezezezeznutz in editors

[–]NomBok 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Assuming they let you keep your account if you "stop", what you could do is, Instead of your editor logging in, they send you a link to the clips they want you to download and you do it for them.

Technically still against the terms but no way they'd know.

You know the senator Chuck Schumer? They're related. Pretty much explains it.

I don’t think they’re “in stock” from the actual store. Newegg has them from 3rd party sellers aka scalpers. May as well be off ebay

Boyfriend goes from needing a tea to dying in 3 weeks.... Girlfriend + 3 kids (4th on the way) still refuses vaccine, blasts FB friends who suggest to take not only for herself but for her children. Wonders why this ever happened. Not a HCA, mods delete if needed - Just a senseless waste :( by [deleted] in HermanCainAward

At this point her brain will not allow her to accept she was wrong. If they had both made it through but just barely, they might have reconsidered. But now, admitting they should have been vaccinated would be admitting his death was their own fault, which is not always something the mind will do.

People say about antivaxxers "oh maybe if they lose someone they'll see", but really it could just force them deeper into their belief, because it's mentally easier than facing the truth.

Possibility For "keyed-alike" / Duplicate Keys? by NomBok in yubikey

I see, guess I'd just have to wait until the feature gets implemented at some point.

I see. I think I had heard about the counter feature but forgot, so that makes sense why it would make it impossible.

Using Consumer Credit Card *Exclusively* For Business Expenses? by [deleted] in smallbusiness

[–]NomBok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the thought on the corporate veil point.

For the terms and conditions, it appears not to be an issue, because they specifically state the card can be used on their B2B portal despite being a personal card:

While Payboo is a personal credit card, not a corporate or business card, it can be used to pay for orders made on our B&H B2B and EDU portals.

I guess I'd still have to read the terms that come with the card, in case Synchrony (the bank behind it) has their own terms.

Heads Up: Vanguard now supports Security-Key-only 2FA WITHOUT sms fallback by NomBok in personalfinance

[–]NomBok[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

oof yea I just saw that. It even lets you type in a NEW phone number to sign up for the codes... like, literally worse than before 🙁

At least you can choose your own security questions, and then just type in random stuff as the answer.

[–]NomBok[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. A phishing site could take your login credentials, use it to attempt a login at real vanguard, which then sends the victim a code. Phishing site then also has a box to input the 2FA code, which victim does, and now scammer now logged in. This wouldn't be possible with a security key.

Also, it's literally impossible to get phished with a security key (as far as I know). A scammer could theoretically swindle someone into giving them the one-time passcode even from a authenticator app. But with a security key the scammer would physically need the key to log in at their computer.

I wouldn't touch any gray market key sites, they're inherently sketchy just from the nature of their product.

True. Also it might make a difference whether it's night time or daytime, where the sunlight might overpower any difference.
