Ms sending me more requests for Codes than Lottery combinations.

Hi folks
What's up with Ms stuff these days -- I know security is important but this is getting rediculous on HOME computers -- If I sign in to One Drive or Teams I'm even after entering a password I get a "Verification" request for email "We've sent you a code", then after having to get the mail I enter the code and get ANOTHER request for password etc.

Surely this stuff is BONKERS.

What do I have (even as a Phd - Doctorate - Electrical Engineer from Imperial College London GB ) on my private computer that would be of the slightest use to anybody in the Kremlin or anywhere else.

Security is important but this whole thing just makes a mockery of it.

Cheers

They're all going overboard with it, MS, Google, etc..., fighting over mastery to be your ultimate security Savior!

You can go into settings on your microsoft account and turn two-factor verification off.

You've served in the Military so what I'm saying here wouldn't apply to you and a lot who have served but :

This is a Word rhyming with "Locks" and starting with "Bol" - Brits probably know that better BTW,or those things called "Little round Objects". Think of a Brit ex Labour politician who likes "Dancing" on BBC 1's competition and has the first name ED.

I'm not normally aggressive by instinct -- but I've been in the Military and know what to do with basic B/S.

It's the OTHER end e.g Bank's etc that control who logs on to their servers etc. --At least in Sensible Western Countries. So Even if you turn off that stuff You can't avoid the other end (the servers) wanting the security,

Hi there : Enjoy on BBC1 or BBC iPlayer if you have VPN and outside BBC's "Viewing area".

Extra time now - and what a load of people like --especially Women is when there is a Penalty shoot out to decide the outcome as there are no replays on these games. It has to be decided today.

@Edwin

C'mon Chelsea !!!!!!!



I like Liverpool too -- I HATE Manchester City (not Man Utd BTW).

I like to believe that user authentication goes hand in hand with keeping our user data secure, I seem to hear about megahacks less often these days.

In years past, security went BONKERS bad, nowadays security is going BONKERS a bit better.

I see you are a soccer man too Jimbo, I`m a FIFA freak myself, can`t wait
I like watching the women more so over the men`s games, because of all the over acting LOL
