That’s a great question. ISO 8601 doesn’t allow timezone offsets on date-only strings. If you were born in the US, can you buy cigarettes at 12:00 am on your 18th birthday in London? I’ve never heard of age verification laws caring what tim

Many sites do allow logging in with just an SMS OTP, no password required (even if you’ve set a password for the account). If it absolutely must be used (it shouldn’t), then SMS OTP should be a second factor, not the only factor.
