Please use a personal email. My email is 'mail' @ 'my actual name'. It does not get more personal than that
But you can't use emails starting with mail@, admin@, support@, info@, main@, etc.
Instead they advised me (3 times) to create a personal email on a service like Yahoo, Outlook, Gmail, Orange, etc
Funny you mention the robocall thing... I'm literally leaving a company that works on that problem (though not as their primary business) Wednesday. It was a short stint - mostly because they are resistant to solving massive technical debt problems and I'm not trying to doom my future self - but what I witnessed was....depressing. Getting anything done was like pulling teeth, and that's with the recent FTC pivot to taking this stuff more seriously. STIR/SHAKEN is a reasonable start but it still has almost no teeth behind it.
I'm with you on the identity issue. I mean, if we're being really honest, the only people losing out by not implementing strong personal identification verification are the legitimate end users because the threat actors have gotten so unbelievably good at fingerprinting user behavior. And it's only going to continue getting worse. With ML growth as unfettered as it is, there is nothing we can do. So I'd much rather take the reigns and make identity verification a robust feature instead of a bug we can't squash.
Kudos for looking out first your future self - I had to leave the field entirely after it got to the point where I couldn’t stand to look at a computer anymore. Still can’t for more than an hour, two years later.
I intend to reply more later, because this does deserve a longer reply, but I am short on steam.
In the meantime, have you heard of login.gov? Check that out. The day that .com gets a hook into that is the day that identity problems are (mostly) solved.
Yes! I LITERALLY just set up my stuff there a few days ago for TSA Precheck and CBP because I'm heading to Japan next month. I love what they're doing.
Heh, I saw it on news.ycombinator.com back when it was announced- they have made strides if you can access TSA now!
In the beginning it was just a form for every manner of authentication and then a big CTA, essentially telling other .gov entities to start making project requests.
