When was the last time you had to go through the two step? 

I’m not talking about a country dance. I’m talking about having to labor through the two-step authentication process to sign into an account, like Facebook or email. 

With all the technological innovations we have invented in the last 10 years, why can’t we all agree that, if it is not your face on the camera screen or computer screen when you are trying to sign in, we shouldn’t need a blood test, mucous sample and shoe size to get into an account that holds nothing more than our birthday and maybe zodiac sign?

The portion of the process that drives me crazy is identifying your proof of ownership on another device.

Maybe using carrier pigeons should make a comeback.
