[dba-Tech] VPN

[Susan Harkins]

One of my clients has started the picture nonsense -- click all squares that contain [insert object], which I don't mind, but one time I gave up -- it just kept going and going... I don't want to work that hard.

I went through Apple ID Hell today with Marty's account.  They want answers to Security Questions which I knowingly entered BS answers too many years ago in order to turn on "Two Factor Authentication" which everyone acknowledges is the way to go.  I have the email the account is registered to.  I have the password.  I have the credit card it's
tied too.   I do not know the answers to "who was your first friend in
grade school?" or "who was your first boss?"  none of which were entered with remotely valid information.
