Security is causing more problems than solving them

Hi everyone,

I need to share my recent experience for the sake of preventing other zoom users from experiencing the same.

A few days ago I set off to visit a different European Country to the one I live in and decided to take my iPad with me so I can run my zoom class from wherever I was going to be. Little did I know of what was awaiting me !

When I opened the zoom app on my ipad the system sensed a new country and wouldn't let me in unless I allowed access from my "other device". My other device of course being a few thousand miles away was not accessible and neither was my "other" email as this is a little used email that I used to create my second zoom account and was not programmed to receive emails in my mobile phone. In other words, I was unable to use zoom for the sake of (unnessecary) security. Mad, isn't it? Until some Chinese competitor senses the absurdity of excess security and steps in to make life simpler for all beware .... your next planned meeting may not take place !!!
