@greenmtnclub On your Long Trail map (5th edition), Killington View is shown 0.5 km east of Mount Roosevelt but yesterday I took GPS coordinates at Killington View https://t.co/e7AoOlFOT5 which shows the view is just 200 ft from the peak. No big deal, just FYI.

Send this dose of tough love to any of your IT managers or CISOs that still cling to password complexity despite strong guidance from NIST or others to the contrary (it is so good, OMG):

@LoginLlama @conorgil That's an interesting flow: username ==> #U2F ==> password. It prevents brute forcing of both the username and the password, doesn't it?

@TokenTwo @conorgil A roaming #FIDO2-certified authenticator (something you have) that supports #CTAP2 necessarily has a pin (something you know). In other words, the authenticator is a multi-factor authenticator. If the pin is disabled, the authenticator can't be used in multi-factor mode.
