So I tried explaining 2FA to my grandma

Bruh I can’t make this up.

So my grandma asked me what I do for work (again). I told her I “help people secure their computers.” She nods all serious and goes, “Like with locks?” :sob:

I tried explaining 2FA, right?
I say, “It’s like you need a password and a code sent to your phone.”

She says, “So if I forget my phone, do I just tell the computer I’m me real loud?”

Then she actually yells at the laptop:

“IT’S ME, GLADYS! LET ME IN!”

And the crazy part?
Google Chrome logged her in.
I’m not even mad, just terrified.

LMAO. The system didn’t authenticate her, it feared her. Grandma Gladys runs the darknet now. :old_woman::fire:

That’s wild. Reminds me of when my mom thought “Incognito Mode” meant she was invisible online. I caught her waving at the webcam to see if anyone could see her. :skull:
