      Microsoft's authentication app is promising and nice, but what should be a useful encouragement to get people to two factor authentication is now used to remove the password requirement leaving you with... one factor authentication again.

      Also, passwords are limited to a mere sixteen characters.

          I wonder if we could all pitch in a couple bucks and get a gigantic truckload of fresh hot cow pies dumped on their lawn
