Device Security is Not Working

Transferring a pop concert ticket between a mother and daughter with Android phones took 45 minutes, which the writer blames on device and account security measures bolted onto one another in a Frankenstein-style way. The process used Ticketmaster, Google Family Link, Google Password Manager, Chrome, DuckDuckGo, and SMS one-time codes, which the writer had to read aloud from his phone while driving. A link in an email had to be opened in Chrome rather than the daughter's DuckDuckGo default browser before the ticket appeared. The writer, a blockchain researcher and advisor to Resonance Security, says the company aims to make computer security less complicated and more secure.
