#ITByte: #Formal #Verification is the act of proving or disproving the correctness of a system with respect to a certain formal specification or property.

Here is a brief introduction to formal program verification.

#Google plans to stop using insecure #SMS #verification in #Gmail

SMS messages are delivered by mobile carriers without #encryption, and they often go through intermediaries that can be compromised without your knowledge. Even if the line is secure, phone numbers have very little in the way of #security.

@jdst258

Yeah, I just really didn't care

I know who I am, and I didn't even bother Smugmug tech support with the issue

Point is really that you may be able to edit the html on a web site, but the site's protocols don't accept it for whatever reason

Oh, and another thing: the #Verification link effect does *not* show up instantly. Hours, maybe, for some reason. Probably not until the verifier bot makes its next pass

@rochelle Nice — thanks! (For others:) Turns out there are about two dozen confirmed accounts. Not sure how many of them use the Mastodon #verification system, but they look good.

Wow @RepShontelBrown is a sitting member of the US Congress with a #mastodon #verified link! Welcome! Are there others?

Mastodon #verification question.

Is anyone familiar with #Wordpress?

I get how to use the code snippet to link my account and website for verification, but I want the Mastodon profile link to lead to my site's main page.

I put the link in the footer text, but it seems the theme's full screen home page option doesn't show a footer.

I wonder if there's a way to put the link on the page invisibly? Maybe I'd have to go into the child theme's code to do that?

We need to talk about: #Verification and #Trust. Mastodon is decentralized, so there is no single agency that can verify the authenticity of an account. However, there are tools account holders can use to validate an individual's identity. The mastodon platform allows for verified links in the user profile: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/profile/#verification

If you see a potentially popular account on here, please ensure they have _at least_ one of the following before treating it as legitimate:

@jhpot For all of these reasons I wish Mastodon would enable a true #identity #verification protocol. The existing 'link verification' doesn't do that, it only verifies that you control the Mastodon account and the web account, it does not say anything about identity.
I'm not a technologist, but I know there are smart people with the skills and knowledge to pull it off. It would benefit everyone, not just the verified but the rest of us who could be confident in those accounts.
