OUR NEW TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM
The New Yorker|January 13, 2025
Our two-factor authentication system is expanding because text messages and e-mailed codes are becoming less secure. Also, we’re committed to making sure your log-in process is more of a hassle than it needs to be.

OUR NEW TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

We are certain that these new ways of confirming your identity will deny unauthorized users access to your account. And, if you can’t fulfill these authentication requirements, your account will be locked. However, the glass is half full, because if you’re locked out of your account the hackers are, too. Here are the other ways you’ll soon be able to verify your identity:

Knock on the Door

Nothing proves that it’s you like seeing you. We will send a representative to your home and he or she will knock twice. Once you open the door, you will have to show your driver’s license and the electronic device you used to log in. If you don’t answer within thirty seconds, we will have to send another representative to your home to knock (twice) on your door for verification. That could take anywhere from ten minutes to four hours, depending on traffic.

THE ST. ALWYNN GIRLS AT SEA SHEILA HETI

There was a general sadness that day on the ship. Dani was walking listlessly from cabin to cabin, delivering little paper flyers announcing the talent show at the end of the month. She had made them the previous week; then had come news that the boys' ship would not be attending. It almost wasn't worth handing out flyers at all—almost as if the show had been cancelled. The boys' ship had changed course; it was now going to be near Gibraltar on the night of the performance—nowhere near where their ship would be, in the middle of the North Atlantic sea. Every girl in school had already heard Dani sing and knew that her voice was strong and good. The important thing was for Sebastien to know. Now Sebastien would never know, and it might be months before she would see him again—if she ever would see him again. All she had to look forward to now were his letters, and they were only delivered once a week, and no matter how closely Dani examined them, she could never have perfect confidence that he loved her, because of all his mentions of a girlfriend back home.

MILLENNIALS: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Fame is fickle, and no one knows this better than millennials. Once, they were everywhere—in television laugh tracks for “The Big Bang Theory,” in breathless think pieces about social-media narcissism, and acting the fool in 360p YouTube comedy videos. Then—poof! Gone like yesterday’s avocado toast.
