Uber hit with criticism of “useless” two-factor authentication
Uber is in the computer security news again, this time over allegations that its 2FA is no good.
ZDNet, for instance, doesn’t mince its words at all, leading with the headline, “Uber ignores security bug that makes its two-factor authentication useless.”
Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, is also known as 2SV, short for two-step verification. It’s an increasingly common security procedure that aims to protect your online accounts against password-stealing cybercrooks.
