Presented at Kernelcon 2019, April 5, 2019, 11:35 a.m. (20 minutes)

An exploration of two factor authentication from a developers prospective, and why it is so hard to find two factor implementation best practices. Attendees will come out of this talk learning some trials and tribulations of a real life implementation of two factor authentication, why the sms based authentication is by far the least secure, and why two factor is not the security bandage that it is billed to be.
