svayeYesterday I didn't do any work due to the flu I contacted, thank God I am feeling much better this morning. Today I will post my Uopeople assignment. Thomasboimah I didn't get a reply from you yesterday for the estimated time the website would be completed. Blocking on a reply from Thomasboimah. 11:00
thomasboimahYesterday, I started looking into VPN options but decided to pause since our main issue isn't accessing the Arlington CU website (https://www.arlingtoncu.org/), as we can already reach it from here, but rather the Two-Factor Authentication that requires a U.S. phone number, which led me to shift my focus to solving that. I first checked out Google Voice but hit a wall, as it's completely blocked in Liberia and we can't even log in to the 11:00
thomasboimahservice; however, the good news is that I found an alternative called “OpenPhone,” a business phone service that works internationally and offers a free trial we can use to test it out, though we will have to pay for it after the trial ends. If the team thinks this is the right direction, I can put together an implementation plan and start the free trial. Today I plan to do some reading and practice on the Django documentation and l11:00
