The standard is called TOTP and Google became synonymous with it because they pushed it in the late 2000s for Gmail and have a large user base. Other sites did have systems beforehand, like Paypay which had a dedicated fob, but that was not widely used. Gmail was likely most people’s first experience with MFA and Google pushed their own Authenticator app (and didn’t really advertise that others could be used). As other sites got on board, it was easier to tell people to use the app they use for google to get their code, since you could assume people had the app.
Basically that made a situation where people who had a different TOTP app knew their app would work with “Google Authenticator” but for those without an app or using Google Authenticator, they were likely unaware of the interoperability and standards behind the mechanisms.


We should start calling it Robertsmander rather than Gerrymander from now on. If having no shame while he’s living has no effect, then the best he deserves is his name being tarnished and synonymous with corruption for hundreds of years.


Problem is our whole legal system functions this way in the form of precedence. Also, since the DOJ (who reports to the president) can write a letter saying the president is authorized to do something previously that was illegal, that makes it ok, and then next time, the bar is pushed even further.
We were always taught that the 3 branches of government were there to prevent stuff like this, but when 2 of the branches have abdicated their responsibility to ensure checks and balances, this is what we get.
