    Well, they have a security advantage. I know Google moved over to requiring a USB MFA key for their employees a few years ago, and saw a reduction in successful phishing attacks.

    I would imagine one of these fobs is cheaper than a USB key. It also can work without being plugged into a computer, which is good.

    Authenticator apps are nice and all, but are not going to provide as much security as one of these. Apps live on people’s phones, and especially if it’s a personal phone, you may not want to trust its security. If it’s stolen or hacked, your multi-factor authentication just got less secure.

    If you don’t want personal devices in a building as well, these are useful.

    Lots of reasons these are still totally good today!

    Grab the door handle too hard and it’s totaled. I’d say my car has maybe 250 health points. That’s even counting the rust and the broken plastic clips!

    It’s survived being sideswiped - 150 damage, healed by using aftermarket panels and spray paint. Permanent -5 beauty debuff though.

    It does have a curse (weakness to head gasket failure) though. But that hasn’t killed it yet!




  • I’m just speculating. It seems like, at least at the moment, anti cheat continues to be able to run as kernel. The article says Microsoft will have more to say on anti cheat “in the near future.”

    It may be that they don’t crack down on the realtime applications as hard, since the number of users impacted is so much smaller. Antivirus and anti cheat are on many millions of machines and are usable by the average consumer. Specialty software may be considered differently, I. E. “You know what you’re doing and what risks you’re assuming” for the more technical customer.

    It will be interesting to see where they go with this.
