Yes, please - are you available in September?

As far as I know, Seattle TA3M has never had a talk on the subject at all!

We're all at the mercy of the available service providers.

For the TA3M audience I was hoping to convey how (relatively) cheap and easy it is to 
set up and manage 2FA - yes, U2F, and how to talk to others users about 
it, and how to engage with service providers on the subject.

While also spending a bit of time covering how horribly broken a bunch of 
implementations are of course.

But I'd rather hear (and record if we can) a talk from you on the subject 
than whatever I would come up with. :-D
