Problem Solved

 

[GrogNerd]

so, I have this issue with United Health Care website.

EVERY TIME I log in, it asks me for 2FA (2 Factor Authentication/Authorization). sends a text to my phone, I gotta enter the code EVERY TIME

even with this functionally useless option here checked.

so... I'm having a problem with a website. call their technical support

for all the techie nerds out there: WHAT WOULD BE THE FIRST QUESTION for the tech support TO ASK?

(lol... AFTER "have you rebooted?")

Not just you. I have United Healthcare as well. Same thing here, 2FA every time, even though I select "trust this device."
Cleared cookies and cache, but that didn't help. Ah well.

I'm gonna guess you use Opera. That's what I use.

Don't have the problem in Chrome.

The first question to ask is "what browser are you using?"

Running Linux and use either Firefox or Google Chrome as my browsers depending on what I'm doing. They both show the same thing. Truthfully I haven't looked into it any further than clearing cache and cookies as I don't consider it enough of a pain to expend any more effort on it.

I'm just venting, but the younglings still need to get off my lawn.

By Optional, they mean "We may not respect your choice"

I'm pretty sure the answer to the "Trust this device?" question is stored in a cookie. If you clear cookies, you erase your answer to the question, so you get asked again.

I use FireFox on a windoze10 machine and different sites work, while others exhibit this forgetful behavior. It is seemingly random.

As for what should be asked first, as a former IT type, imma go with “can I have your number so I can send a 2FA code for you to repeat to me to verify your identity?”

I play this course a LOT. There are a lot of small gators. That one is larger than normal for the course.

I didn't even notice the gator, good job I wasn't playing.

Yeah that's how it should work, but it's not. It's asking whether or not I clear cookies. Mysteriously about a month ago it stopped asking me for 2FA for a short time, even though I didn't change anything. Just as mysterious it started asking me again, even though nothing was changed on my end. As I said before, it's not that big a deal so I just roll with this minor inconvenience.

Oh lovely, we had a few days a little over a week ago with temps creeping down towards -40.
I was left stranded in the parking lot of my local towns grocery store, even though the car was only standing with the engine off for about ten minutes...

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Well akshually, when it's that cold you want the air to be really dry.
-30 and colder coupled with high RH is hypothermia city.

Huh, I wouldn't have known, being at latitude 48N and sea level.
But that 16% was indoors at 68F. I like at least 50%.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Oh, saw that now.
Yeah that's a bit dry, but the air gets dry in winter if you are in a cold place.

I wouldn't want to live anywhere that you need an engine block heater. My hat is off to you brave folks.

This is me and my chicken stir fry in a wok:

...and two whisks, a collander, 3 cutting boards.


And about 4 beers.
