How do I get JFW to Stop Announcing Text Attributes

Greetings I have not been successful in getting JFW to stop announcing text attributes such as “bold”, “normal”, etc. in Internet Explorer and FireFox. This doesn’t happen in any other application. It appears as if it doesn’t do it in read-to-end, but only when I arrow through the web pages. I went into Quick Settings and attribute changes are not checked. I also went into the Settings manager to confirm that any application specific settings are set to be the same. This is on Windows 10 and running JFW 17.basic Vic Pereira Project Manager, Networks and End Users Branch Shared Services Canada, Government of Canada vic.pereira(a)ssc-spc.gc.ca<mailto:vic.pereira@ssc-spc.gc.ca> / Tel: 204-781-5046 Gestionnaire de Projet, Direction Générale des Réseaux et des Utilisateurs Finaux Services partagés Canada, Gouvernement du Canada vic.pereira(a)ssc-spc.gc.ca<mailto:vic.pereira@ssc-spc.gc.ca> / Tél. : 204-781-5046

2fa accessibility thereof
by David Mehler 01 Nov '17

Hello, To those of you who are using 2fa solutions how accessible and easy to use do you find them? I'm looking at implementing 2fa but am not sure which way to go and would appreciate some recommendations. I've read that sms texting where you get an OTP six-digit code is insecure, is this correct because this option would be easiest? Same lines a TOTP solution can I limit as to how long the token is good for? With regards google authenticator can it secure other services other than google? I'm thinking dropbox or does dropbox have native 2fa support? Lastly has anyone used sites that will allow a biometric such as a fingerprint to be utilized as the second factor or the authy service? My goal is to increase service security for both my home/home users and contract users, while keeping things as easy as possible as some of these people are not really technology-savvy. The issue that got me asking this question was how to best protect a keypass database stored on either a google drive or dropbox server, against compromise of the underlying service while still making it available for multiple device connections. Thanks. Dave.

softphone recommendations
by Katherine M. Moss 01 Nov '17

Hello all, I forget what the concensus was when we discussed this before, but I seem to be finding difficulties finding a softphone that has both accessibility as well as a good feature set; particularly, I need the ability to pull contacts and what not from Active Directory since we use that; I've heard of Microsip, though I know that it does not support this feature. If X-Lite/Bria used to be accessible, they aren't now; unlabeled fields everywhere which cannot be seemingly deciphered via object navigation with NVDA (Haven't tried JAWS, but I will.) We're using Asterisk for the server if that matters. Thanks.
