¿ªÔÆÌåÓýI changed my FTDNA GAP password as soon as I heard about the 23andMe fiasco, but it sounds as though I will be forced to change it again. I still can¡¯t logon to 23andMe, by the way, but that¡¯s another story. Changing passwords for all the kits that I control sounds like a real pain. Belinda ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Wayne via groups.io Just looking at the pile of accounts I need to make sure have good contact details and...? ? ?just remember if two different individuals can access the account then the first one in probably gets to update access to the new parameters.? Have to see how they implement the verification operations to allow for multiple individuals to access the same account. 1) I have found 3 DEFECTS in how the system allows one to save/alter your profile information.? ?Obviously the quality of the programming during my forced "sabbatical" over the last couple of years has remained substandard.? ?Be very careful in the sequence for how you update items such as email addresses. ?Undoubtedly the worst news from the weekend, perhaps at least partly due to the recent 23andMe incident, is that a ¡°forced password reset¡± is coming soon.??They will send out warnings, and the Admins access to the Admin system known as GAP, will go first.??But all accounts will be forced to reset the passwords.??If you manage accounts of other sample donors, living or deceased, and your own email address isn¡¯t on the account, you¡¯re going to most likely be out-of-luck ever being able to access it again. I don¡¯t understand the details, and other attendees or other computer geeks might be able to help with the discussion, and this pending nightmare should probably have its own thread here.??But my simple thought is that you should try to make sure ASAP that your own current email address is on every account that you manage, because they are going to email the password reset instructions to the email address on the account, and nobody else will be allowed to reset it.??You should also make sure your accounts have Beneficiary designations.??They mentioned two-factor authentication as a distinct possibility in what they¡¯re planning.??Another idea is that since the Fall Sale is on now, you might want to go ahead and order new tests for some of the kits you manage before the chaos begins. |
