The sentence that definitely sticks with this project is the following. Quote: Some of you are already asking if this idea is totally nuts or just mostly. 🤪

What is it about? It’s about using the C64 as a 2 factor authentication system.

To be honest, the idea is not that far-fetched. For one thing, the necessary algorithms are not so complex, that they couldn't be run by a 6502 in real time. For another, it is rather unlikely, that a thief will tuck the breadbox under his arm before running off - unlike a modern smartphone.

However, how to generate 2FA tokens anywhere other than your own 4 garage walls, is one of the questions whose answers ClassicHasClass - possibly @mpc7500v2 - leaves open.

But one thing is for sure, Saturday afternoon is saved. It's a POC that you just have to try. If you feel like it, you can find the whole experiment with all the trimmings here.
