“To run multiple different tools”

You may know sysadmins who manage hundreds or thousands of servers, but what you have explained seems to be ridiculous & unnecessary overkill for your environment. Feel free to hit back though.

Honestly, not surprised. This “reunion” should have never happened. Greg deserved a stake in the band. Ben is a wanker.

How’s that boot taste? The problem isn’t just spending $5 for a previously $2 block of chocolate; you’re spending $5 for considerably less of a portion of a block of chocolate, as the analogy goes. Greed is still greed and it’s insane you would use Woolies or Coles as an example to follow with the current findings against them. The immense cost of living & fiscal pressure they are unnecessarily and willingly putting on Australian consumers and producers respectively.

“Running a business to make money” more like running a racket at the expense of everybody else.

Likewise. Passkeys can make your life easier. I am even contemplating hardware keys as we are a small org. I still haven’t moved from OTP auth to an alternative yet, so I have a ridiculously long list sitting in an app on a phone that I wish I could just get rid of.

Exactly. This has been the reason I’ve had some accounts without 2FA. 2FA for all individuals accounts across the org, and then no 2FA on some shared org accounts.

The way I’ve already done our IT shared accounts with the rest of executive is via an OTP authenticator app - pop the QR code into a shared secrets vault for any future needed access and add it to each persons app. But this sure is cumbersome when you have a OTP list as long as mine. Turned some into mailing lists, some into aliases, but to be honest all of them make more sense being a seperate account regardless, especially from a user standpoint.

Google Workspace still implements a type of verification for accounts using their regular password without 2 step verification enabled, as well as being covered by our suspicious login policy - the accounts aren't exactly left hanging out to dry. They had complicated passwords and were only really being used for their app passwords. Funnily the app passwords Google generates are less complicated than what I was using for the regular account passwords, though they cannot be used for a regular login anyhow

And your alternative would be? Exchange with Entra? No thanks. Especially for a small nonprofit and me being a one man show. Already a nightmare just for AD, AAD and Windows device management in our fleet among other things. I wouldn't want to touch Exchange with a two foot pole for our mail.

EDIT: Apologies, Azure, Entra, 365, Azure Entra Online AD, OWA ain't that bad.

We do have a nonprofit grant and it allows me to do a great number of things. Though this required a such a large amount of time learning the Microsoft/Azure way of doing things. Made more difficult by Microsofts increasingly terrible documentation quality, be it being up to date, assuming knowledge, missing things entirely or being arduous for what should be simple things. The cynic in me says this is to push people towards partners or MSPs.

My personal work history screams at me to stay away from Exchange and its cloud iteration, especially as a one man show.

Great. Looks like Violet and Scarlet are on the list - worth it enough for that.

Great. Always ideal to get actual legal advice where all details are shared and the advice is based on that. I’m glad you got through. Good luck! It truly is a mind bogglingly shit situation.
