It's somewhat disheartening to see how many websites still have issues with complex passwords, impose ridiculous limits on password lengths, and/or the passwords containing "special characters"!
I use https://password.oppetmoln.se for almost all my "random password" needs, set the length to at least 64 characters, and then let a password manager handle the rest.
It's the year 2024 .... and #Regus has updated the login system with enforcing #2FA. That's great!
But they offer only e-mail and SMS .... in the year 2024. Well, okay, you can tie your login to Microsoft and Google. But that's a completely different can of worms.
I mean ... is it that hard to implement #TOTP ??!??!

Mastodon Vulnerability Patched! CVE-2024-25618
A security flaw - CVE-2024-25618 - was fixed, in Mastodon's software to prevent potential account takeovers. This vulnerability allowed attackers to bypass authentication mechanisms via a crafted request, posing a significant risk to the platform's integrity.
It enabled new logins from certain authentication providers (like CAS, SAML, OIDC) to merge with existing local accounts sharing the same email. This could lead to someone taking over your account if the provider allows changing emails or if there are multiple providers set up.
Here's how it works: When someone logs in using an external provider for the first time, Mastodon checks for an existing account with the same email. However, relying only on the email could result in hijacking your Mastodon account if the provider allows changing it. The Mastodon team swiftly deployed a patch, reinforcing the security of user accounts and the broader ecosystem. Remember, keeping software up-to-date is crucial for safeguarding against such vulnerabilities.
The commit "b31af34c9716338e4a32a62cc812d1ca59e88d15" signifies this update. For further details, check out their advisory.
A big thanks to the discoverers Dominik George and Pingu from Teckids, and the Mastodon team for their rapid response in improving our digital defenses. Stay secure, everyone!

For the record, I think over the last couple of years I've really been getting used to 2FA for practically every account I have that allows it. Especially if it's an authentication app over the SMS. I'd take email over SMS, but having no 2FA is insane.
