The image displays a brochure from the Braille Institute, featuring various sections with text and illustrations. The brochure is laid out in a tri-fold format, with the main section titled "Make Reading Possible." This section includes a heading, a list of eligibility criteria, and a call to action, encouraging readers to enjoy books in a new way. The text is accompanied by illustrations of books, a person reading, and a Braille cell, emphasizing the institute's focus on accessible reading. The left section of the brochure discusses "Living Well with Vision," featuring a photograph of two people, one holding a smartphone, and text about the Braille Institute's services. The top section includes a quote from a Braille Institute Library School graduate, highlighting the institute's impact on individuals with visual disabilities.

If you are like me, then you might have installed the #GoogleAuthenticator app, back in the days when it was the only solution out there for #TOTP #2FA.

But that is long ago. Since then, #Google has closed-sourced it's solution, forced #cloudsync otto it's users and stores these information unencrypted; plus it's suspected to collect even more data from you than needed. And it's a US BigTech company.

I've looked into a couple of alternatives and landed with #Aegis and #EnteAuth which are both excellent #free #opensource choices from #europe. I went with @ente because of it's larger platform support.

So why are you not already using an alternative? It's super easy, and took me less then 10 minutes:
1. On GoogleAuthenticator go to the ☰
2. Select transfer codes
3. Select all the codes you want to transfer --> Google will create a number of QR-Codes, each containing 10 accounts.

On your alternative say import, and scan the Google codes and you're good to go and can let go of yet another proprietary US BigTech dependency (and thus liability).

If you are already using a different #TOTP #2FA app on your smartphone, which one is it, and why?

Screenshot of Ente Auth website, reading "Ente Auth: Open source 2FA authenticator, with end-to-end encrypted backups" and a picture showing the Ente Auth UI on an iPhone as well as their mascot: A little duckling holding a shield.
Screenshot of the Aegis Authenticator website reading "Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app for Android to manage your 2-step verification tokens for your online services." and a picture of their UI on an Android phone (the only platform they support).

The fate of the #DirectFile program, the #free electronic #tax return filing system developed during President #Biden’s #Democratic admin, is also unclear. #Republican lawmakers & commercial tax preparation companies had complained it was a waste of #taxpayer money because free filing programs already exist, although they are hard to use. #BillyLong said during his confirmation hearing that it would be one of the first programs that come up for discussion if he were confirmed.

If you plan to go to #SecTech event at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre on 17 June, make sure to check boxed swag before you leave venue. Box should have contained a torch but only had a charging cable. Event is #FREE so not complaining.

As an event, OK for time waster but few security or tech people running stands, mostly sales folk. Most went blank when I asked where the #SecUnit was. I recommended #Murderbot to a couple for viewing or reading.

Most stalls offered Integration services or Key Management services. Not much on my interest areas - information security, social engineering, digital identity, or planning for and enabling accessibility of services.

SIGN NOW: Don’t let #Trump’s #LosAngeles crackdown become the new normal. #Congress must not fund these attacks on our #rights, our neighbors, and our #free speech >> click.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u

click.actionnetwork.orgTell Congress: REJECT Trump’s funding for unjust ICE raidsPeople across the country are rising up and exercising the basic right to peaceful protest, demanding an end to Trump’s unlawful detentions and the pain they’re inflicting on families just trying to work and survive. But instead of listening, President Trump is responding with military force. Over the wishes of local elected officials and law enforcement, he’s deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles and threatening to send in Marines – not to protect anyone, but to provoke confrontation. ​ I just signed the petition to STOP this outrageous response – and I hope you will, too.
