Technical security is making all of our lives a bit more difficult. Between two-factor authentication, passkeys, and other technical hurdles, things are getting a bit more complex all the time. However, those little bits of inconvenience for you are much larger inconveniences for those that are trying to hack you.
At a recent event, I heard Woodstock mayor Michael Caldwell sum this up very nicely, saying:
“Friction for you is more friction for the bad guys”
Adding more steps to your login can be a bit of a pain, but it only adds a few seconds worth of effort. However, those few seconds to you mean that the bad guys will have a much more difficult (or hopefully impossible) time trying to crack your accounts.
Appreciate the friction for the value it’s bringing to your life.
