Modern life

In the last hour I’ve logged into my IRS account, my bank account, Intuit payroll, my E-prescribing account, the state narcotic database, my retirement account, the hospital Epic system, and my spam filter account, and I’m sitting here wishing there was one authenticator app they’d all use.

And then I began thinking “One authenticator app to rule them all, one authenticator app to find them, one app to log in to all, and on my monitor bind them.”

And how'd that idea work out in Middle Earth?

The best part is that, if that one authenticator app goes down, you won't be able to do anything and you'll have an excuse to take the day off.

Think of how different things would be if there was two-factor authentication at the Mines of Moria.
