Today's MS-speak verb is a classic: "double-click" as a verb. "We're going to double-click on that in the next session."

Here is the perfect chance for onboarding to #PSConfEU : join the cockpit, deliver a 20 by 20 session on the main stage.
No better way, to become an active part of the community.

„Zweiter Faktor - doppelt Ärger?“

Good try. Can you also explain the difference between the „white cyclops“ and the „black cyclops“? 😂

The #OTP module is extremely helpful, particularly in test environments with numerous MFA-enabled accounts. No need to fiddle around with smartphones anymore, which is extremely helpful in seminars and workshops.

Check it out, let me know what you think!

I have created a module to manage #OTP authentication. It can also be used as an excellent testing tool in lab environments and for normal daily authentication.
Install-Module -Name OTP

You can find some guidance on the project site.
