Surprising to discover that Brandmeister does not implement any security over our Digital IDs.

I guess anyone could impersonate any of us!!

Brandmeister have AirSecurity/TOTP that can be activated from selfservice.

This can protect your own ID within Brandmeister but ofc not other DMR users unless they also enable AirSecurity.

Interesting, but it still does not solve the problem of unlicensed users just grabbing a Digital ID at random, until one works, just to get "on the air," so to speak!
