About
editor @Techmeme since 2014 https://muckrack.com/spencer-dailey Coder, girl dad, My biggest pet peeve is SMS-based 2FA (and I recently wrote about that: https://keydiscussions.com/2024/02/05/sim-swap-attacks-can-be-blamed-on-companies-embracing-sms-based-password-resets/ )
I enjoy making apps and games.
