Multiple Factors

As a matter of safety, I can definitely see where Aurelia is coming from, and I can also see where Marigold is probably going to be like '???' about the question. Of course this could all be MM/Aurelia messing with her with the most deadpan face (which I admit, I kind of want because it could totally fit what she might do)

I bake cookies for a number of people too, so I understand where Aurelia is coming from. But that eyebrow in panel three is next level.

I just realized... Aurelia wants to keep her secret, but look at her phone, that cow patter tho. ~<3

love this

Remind me at this point what was their planned agenda for the meet-up?

Shoulda traded PGP public keys

It would be hilarious if Marigold's phone had been receiving the text as well in the last panel. XD

Aurelia is ridiculous and I hate it. Ugggghhhhh

Is it weird that Aurelia's solution seems completely reasonable to me? Maybe I'm ready to retire from IT...

Y’know, it occurs to me that one thing only Burger-oni would know is that story about Clinton’s first plane trip. Which would lead to Claire overhearing it (assuming she wasn’t present). I see several directions that could go…..

Considering that BurgerOni has got at least 200,000 subscribers (source: https://www.patreon.com/posts/1-through-68-49372685 ), the stakes are high enough to justify this kind of verification; more so than for MommyMilkers, who’s “only” got 40,000.

Aurelia apparently sticks her phone in a cow-print case before going out into the world (judging by her phone’s different appearance in her call with Marigold a few strips ago). I am so here for that. Go Mommymilkers. Nice touch, Jeph. :-)

She could have used her own name, since only Burger Oni would know that Burger Oni told Aurelia her name was Marigold...

I was thinking she could get Claire to vouch for her, & Aurelia trusts Claire... but Claire doesn't know b/c Marigold kept it top secret. 😓

It's gonna be fun watching these two interact. :)

How is it somehow getting worse.

"Do the voice!"

A new experience, truly novel, feels weird bro - 2/10

Aurelia, something only Burger Oni could know is that Burger Oni is about to meet MommyMilkers420 IRL, and by extension that you are her, something only like three people IRL know, and the other two have red hair.

now there's a goldmine, celebrity captcha app

If Marigold doesn't have her phone on her she could say "You're calling 413-5558675 x309"

"Hey Claire, could you tell your mother my name?" "Uh, sure. Mom, this is Marigold."

In the name of Internet security, I must accept these cookies.

Aurelia has both amazing and atrocious security protocols!

I'd like to be three-factored sometime, but maybe that's just a silly romantic dream.

Next she will be giving Marigold a box to check saying she's not a robot.

...Just noticed Aurelia's phone case is cow print

None of this is actually a bad idea. Funny how Aurelia is the one more versed in cybersecurity here.

Code is 6969

Can't be too careful.

I'm guessing Marigold will realize she left her phone at home in the next page...

gotta protect the money

My headcanon is that cowprint phone case was a gift from a Milkmaid.

You ever just want Ina to show up and explain how an off-collab works

Nobody mentions that Marigold is an enormous computer nerd, and was established to be systems admin before switching over to livestreaming. I'd expect her to be impressed with Aurelia's ability to improvise.

For someone who was very ready to admit her secret identity, she’s very paranoid about accepting others. Especially since the only reason Marigold knows she’s mommymilkers is because she told burgeroni her real name.

But props to formerly painfully shy Marigold for identifying herself first. But, jeez Aurelia, lighten up?

TFA Two Factor Aurelia

I’m gonna 2FA my friends when they get drunk and want to start calling their exes

I'm picturing Aurelia tossing her cookies.

does she wear a tinfoil hat in her spare time

"Prove you're not a robot. Harm a human, or through inaction, allow a human to come to harm."

'Now click on every image that includes a car."

Hopefully the code isn't 12345.

Security is tantamount

The fact that Aurelia has a cow print phone case though…

*facepalm* Aurelia….

I cackled at this

Would anybody else know that she’s there to see Burger Oni?

If I were in this comic, I'd SO want to eat Aurelia's cookies. Oh yeah.

Lmaaaooo Aurelia nooooo

Marigolds "oh god, this is happening" face is perfect.

The difference between being recognised by a fan, or recognised by a colleague.

The Marigold torture will continue until morale improves

that is something i would *totally* do

Panel 2 needs 200% more trenchcoats and dark alleyways.

This is amazing. I would probably do this, too.

Suspicious Aurelia is ADORABLE

Damn Aurelia, poor girl worked up the courage and now you're grilling her 🤣 Poor Marigold.

Oh my god she's security conscious. Please let me marry her.

I'll have to start doing this

Aurelia has really good OPSEC instincts, not gonna lie.

Seems legit to me.
