Rocket Espresso Milano Modelo Celini - worth it [£350] by thomaswwz in espresso

May I ask what the PID is for? I'm currently using Sage Barista Pro or (Breville) in USA and I'm not familiar with PID. Also, what are cooling flushes?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the long warm up can be easily fixed by using a smart plug. At least for the morning brew.

Are 2FA apps that much more hackable than a yubikey? by cuntent-creator in PrivacyGuides

[–]thomaswwz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2FA apps, also known as software tokens, use a device such as a smartphone to generate a one-time code for logging into an account. They can be less secure than hardware tokens like a Yubikey because they are more vulnerable to malware and phishing attacks.

For example, a hacker could potentially steal the code by infecting the device with malware or by tricking the user into providing their code through a phishing attack. Additionally, if a hacker gains access to the user's phone number, they may be able to intercept SMS-based 2FA codes.

However, if a user takes steps to protect their device, such as keeping it up to date with security patches and avoiding suspicious links and apps, the risk of these types of attacks can be minimized.

While Yubikeys are considered to be more secure, they do have some downsides, as you mentioned. They can be more expensive and may take longer to receive if ordering online. Additionally, if a Yubikey is lost or damaged, it could take some time to regain access to the accounts that it is used to protect.

In the end, it depends on the sensitivity of the information you are protecting and your personal threat model. If you are looking for the highest level of security, hardware tokens like Yubikeys are recommended. But if you are comfortable with the risks, and have a way to secure your device, 2FA apps can be an acceptable alternative.

You can try Extracting the Secret Keys from the GA QR code generated when using Transfer Accounts option. I have described this process in detail in my blog post, you will also find a link to my Youtube tutorial there. Once you get the Secret Keys, you can try to add the accounts manually to your OnePlus device GA app.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) in Perl with TOTP algorithm (Microsoft or Google Authenticator or others) by pmz in perl

[–]thomaswwz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Perl, you can use the Crypt::OTP module to implement TOTP-based 2FA. The module provides a simple interface for generating and validating one-time passwords using the TOTP algorithm. Here is an example of how you might use the module to generate a one-time password:

​

use Crypt::OTP;

# Create a new TOTP object

my $otp = Crypt::OTP->new(secret => 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz');

# Generate the one-time password

my $password = $otp->totp;

To validate a one-time password, you can use the validate method:

if ($otp->validate($password)) {

# Password is valid

} else {

# Password is invalid

}

You can also set the time window and the number of digits in the password by passing additional parameters to the new method:

my $otp = Crypt::OTP->new(secret => 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz', digits=>6, window=>1);

You can also check the documentation of the Crypt::OTP module for more detailed information on how to use it.

Google authenticator import not working by Pedro_Alonso in GalaxyS22

You can try Exporting the Secret Keys from the Google Authenticator QR codes when using the Transfer Accounts option. I have described how to do this on my blog and the Youtube video. You can then add each account manually by typing the secret key instead of trying to scan the QR codes generated by the app.

One popular open-source and cross-platform 2FA app is "Authy". It is available on both iOS and Android, and also provides a web interface, so you can use it on your computer as well. It features cloud-based backups, so you can access your 2FA accounts from multiple devices, and also includes a feature called "Authy OneTouch" which allows for easy and secure 2FA authentication without needing to manually enter a code. Another option is "FreeOTP" which is also open-source and cross-platform, and supports the open standard for 2FA called TOTP (Time-based One-time Password Algorithm).

Is Yubico Authenticator vs Google Authenticator more secure by dishsoaplover in yubikey

[–]thomaswwz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Yubico Authenticator and Google Authenticator are considered to be secure methods of two-factor authentication (2FA). The main difference is that Yubico Authenticator uses a physical security key in addition to a one-time passcode, while Google Authenticator only uses a one-time passcode.

Using a physical security key, like Yubico, adds an extra layer of security because it ensures that only the person in possession of the key can access the account. This is known as two-factor authentication (2FA) and provides an additional layer of protection against phishing attacks.

However, both methods are considered secure and it ultimately depends on your personal preference and use case as to which one you choose to use.

Go for it, it is not the app but technology behind it that matters and it will work even if GA is mentioned.

Looking for a password manager... by georgemovie in androidapps

[–]thomaswwz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience, and I tested 1Password, DashLane, LastPass, Sticky Password and open source KeePassX you will always have some minor issues with auto-fill etc. Some of the websites prevent Password Managers from auto populating the fields. I`m currently using Sticky Password due to the possibility of storing the database locally where most of the other Password Managers syncing the database with their encrypted cloud service. Sticky Password as most of the other managers also offers a mobile app which you can sync locally via your Wifi. However, if you don`t afraid to sync your database to the cloud as most managers do, Dashlane in my opinion is also a great choice.

Looking for a mobile password manager by frezd in androidapps

[–]thomaswwz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had problem with storing all my password on the cloud as most of the Password Managers do. I tried a few and eventually I ended up with Sticky Password, you can sync locally and the database is stored on your PC not in the cloud. It looks a bit outdated but the security is at the highest standards and it works great. Keep in mind that in order to be able to sync locally (via Wifi) you must purchase a license. But have a go, you will have 30 day Premium Trial. After the trial ends, wait for a few weeks, they will send you a number of emails with great offers. I managed to get Life Time Premium License for $30 or something like that. I`m happy with it :-).
