    Ah, smartphones. I had to access my government account
    the other day, and there's this multistep identification
    process involving a smartphone, and last time I logged
    in I used Lilli's phone, which doesn't help me 2600
    miles away, and it was slightly irritating to have to
    go to a secondary and more lengthy kind of verification.

    Smartphone use is considered normal and expected nowadays... Richard's
    run into that, where they want to use a smartphone for multistep identification, and neither of us has one, he doesn't even have a
    simple cell phone....

    I sometimes get requests for my cell phone number -- but I resist. Then
    when some web site decides that it wants an extra security step, I get
    it to send me the code via voice, not text. Then they leave me alone
    for a while, at least until some cookie on my computer gets deleted.

    I also resist giving out my cell phone, and also my email... generally
    what gets sent to email is huge and HTML and practically useless to
    me... I'm also not going on to websites that require security steps, so
    I avoid that as well....

    Then they leave me alone for a while, at least until some cookie on

    Unfortunately, some of the sites that require that two-step security are
    ones that I need to visit, e.g. my credit union.

    Not all cookies are bad -- e.g. the one that tells my credit union that
    my computer can be trusted. Other cookies are just annoying, e.g. the
    ones that allow other sites to know what you have been looking at so
    that they can target their adverts to you.
