Europe is bracing itself for a big shake-up in how we pay for things online, which will have significant consequences for businesses across the region. Similar to how GDPR hugely impacted how millions of organizations handle personal data when it was enforced last year, Strong Customer Authentication (or SCA) will have profound implications for how businesses handle online transactions and how we pay for things in our everyday lives when it is enforced on September 14.
SCA will require an extra layer of authentication for online payments. Where a card number and address once sufficed, customers will now be required to include at least two of the following three factors to do anything as simple as order a taxi or pay for a music streaming service. Something they know (like a password or PIN), something they own (like a token or smartphone), and something they are (like a fingerprint or biometric facial features).

Killing all existing cookies and not allowing anyone from a California address to log in again would probably be better. That could be done in the load balancer if you're coming from a California address range without the rehash code ever needing to deal with an unhashed IP address (beyond hashing it in the first place, of course). Save those ideas up for the Meta story though. This is mostly just notification that there's going to be one.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
