  • I'd assume Wikipedia implemented a whitelist rule for trusted edits and new accounts edits are hold in limbo until they are confirmes entries, no?

    If Wikipedia actually allows for live edits to the page without any further checks, it seems very naive or very stupid to me.

  • In theory yes.Hardware tokens are bound to keysSoftware baes tokens can be synced with password managers (3rd or 1st party)
