Yeah I don’t get it. What are we preventing? Someone filing something under my name? Who would bother doing that? Was that a problem? Someone using your account to view documents to avoid paying 10 cents a page? The max you could owe is 15 bucks a month. What’s their angle?

You have a PACER account? Can you do your XO bros a solid and pull some court docs?

For profit institutions have to do a cost benefit analysis and compete for customers, governments do not. This is the root cause of why government systems are more cumbersome and bureaucratic.

They build it into the app itself. They want control over the security channel plus having some push notification is easier than making every prole generate and type in some generic six-digit code half of them won't be able to figure out how to do it. Agree it is kind of weird they don't force you to turn it on, but also they use all kinds of risk telemetry and device fingerprinting to flag unusual login attempts.

TBF everybody probably should get a couple of Yubikeys and set up their banking/brokerage to use them via an authenticator app.

This bullshit where they text your phone a code is a weakness.

Put one on your keyring, stick the other in a safe deposit box.

I answered the way I did because it's far more important that you take the time set up to hardware authentication on your $$$ vs. idly bullshitting about why the government is doing what it's doing.

They've run PACER in an idiotic fashion since its inception, I don't know why a minor change in log-in procedure is worth discussing
