But before the words could leave my mouth I remembered a past house-call customer who did exactly that.\n\nThe moral of the story is when planning for security, you either need to make the cost of shortcutting enormous and immediate (think firing w/perp-walk out the door) or more convenient than shortcutting.  The first is obviously unpopular with most, and the second is a huge PITA for devs who will also choose convenience by offloading to MFA-in-a-box and shouting \"let them eat TOTP apps and choose traffic lights!\".\n\nDamn, this started as a funny story about security and ended in mild depression... 😭"}
