If you email, please mention you found me on HN :)
I reply to every email that I receive, but making it easy for me to reply by asking for something specific will get you a quicker reply!
Any comments I make are my personal opinion, etc, etc.
I believe the presentation was from a conference for UX and designers (cannot recall the name). The presenter was a man and he was discussing the ethical responsibilities that designers have to prevent malicious and dangerous things from being built. He used as a primary example the incident in 2012 [1] where two college students who had their Facebook permissions locked down to private joined a club called Queer Chorus and had their membership published on that group's public page, outing their sexual orientation which they had not yet shared with their families.
The argument the presenter made was that the UX designers who worked on the security and privacy features at Facebook should have spoken up and pushed back and refused to design/implement a page which was so confusing for users that they were not getting the privacy that they thought they were getting.
I seem to recall the phrase "last line of defense" used in the presentation as well.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about and can share a link to the video, that would be super helpful.
Thanks!

The product will be compatible with any existing site/service that supports software token based 2FA (e.g. AWS, GitHub, Slak, etc) and will greatly simplify the user experience. Users will receive a push notification on their phone and only be required to click a single "allow" button instead of manually entering the 2FA code into their browser.
I created a survey to gather some market research today and tomorrow and would really appreciate if you would take less than 1 minute to fill it out if you currently use a 2FA mobile app: https://goo.gl/forms/aBu23r4D4hGagLn32
