Eww y’all have a code word? Those are easily guessable.

My wife and I have a random 6 digit code that rotates every 30-seconds based on an algorithm and if we don’t properly authorize, we will refuse the connection.

Eww you have a random rotating 6 digit code to connect with your wife? Those are easily guessable.

My wife and I have just agreed that we don’t properly authorize, so we will always refuse the connection.

I mean its not even 2FA exactly. It’s more like TOTP which 2FA might use, granted.

My family gaslit me for decades.

I can only hope someone bothers to harass them with my own voice.

So… the same Stranger Danger protocols that parents have been told to use for years.

Wait you actually had a code word for when a stranger approached you?

I thought that was a joke

It is not a joke. Honestly I don’t remember anymore if we had a code word or not, but it was definitely discussed with parents and school officials; probably in D.A.R.E too. The premise is that a kidnapper might try to trick you with: “Your mom is [working late / in the hospital / etc.], she asked me to pick you up today.” If they don’t have the password, then you don’t go with them and then go get help from a trusted adult. If you can’t get to one, run away and scream.

that is a fucking wild concept lol, in what scenario would a parent ask someone the kid doesn’t know to pick them up? like even if you 100% trust someone, that doesn’t work if the kid has never met them!
