Welcome to the Fallout  

I didn't want to require users to create accounts and have another password to manage, but I also didn't want to leave my updates and media publicly available to search engines and anyone with an internet connection. So now I'm using one-time-passwords where an access code can be sent to your phone (via SMS text messaging) or to your inbox (via email). Codes can be used only once and are only valid for 10 minutes after they have been requested.

• Request an access code by entering either your phone or email on this page
• The website will then take you to the prompt where you can enter an access code
• Look for the access code in your phone's messages or your email inbox
• If you used an email address, make sure to check in your spam folder
• The access code sent to you will only work one time and will only be valid for 10 minutes
• If the code expires before you're able to use it, you can simply request another code
• When you get the code, enter it in the website
• If you have gone away from that page in your browser, you can get back to it here
• Once your code has been verified, you will have access for 60 minutes
• If you have any questions, let me know

Nothing. I will simply use them to send you a code, and I can see who has requested access. I won't sell all 20 of your phone numbers and email addresses until I'm really strapped for cash. :)

I started my updates in 2014 and initially had them open to the public. Starting in 2018, I had you verify an email address once and then enter that email address each time you wanted access. In 2022 I went away from that process for two reasons. First, because I wanted to add SMS (text messaging) as an option for those of you who look at this site on your phones. Second, and more importantly, because in the old system anyone could enter any verified email, but in the new system you must enter an email (or phone) that you have access to.

Awesome! Go for it!
