I don’t mind it at all and I appreciate the extra security.
What I don’t like is googlemail locking me out my account even when I can enter my password and phone code just because I cleared my cookies and changed VPN server.
If you’d rather have all your shit stolen by those who come across it, sure
So the way I beat this. I use extremely complex passwords that I just saved on my phone and auto login and every month I reset my phone thus I have to go through and reset all my passwords. I never remember any of them, but I’m never insecure either.
I don’t mind it though some implementations are cumbersome. I never know if it’s an email, a text, or some authenticate app. I create my passwords using a password vault app and make each one unique. No 2 sites use the same password. In fact, the only password I know is the one to the password vault. Otherwise, I simply copy and paste from the vault to the login form.
What I hate is the sites that don’t let you change a password by pasting in a complex password. You have to type the password twice to change it. That means I have to create a password that isn’t 20+ characters long. Basically, they force users to dumb down their passwords.
Did you checked your phone for the sixth time tho?
you sound like that you dont use it as much.
PKI is much more secure and convenient. It’s a shame it’s not supported more
It’s slightly annoying for me because I have an Alcatel 3082x 4g flip phone from 2023 so I need to use a computer if the code gets emailed. But I appreciate the extra security and would prefer to have this rather than get my shit stolen/leaked.
I have to do this to……….check my fucking work schedule
I understand why it’s necessary. But I wish it wasn’t necessary.
2FA is good for financial stuff, like on PayPal. If you put 2FA on my OS, even I might switch to Linux, as much as it pains me to configure it to just work.
Can people just not try to steal my data please? I don’t want any of this time consuming nonsense 🙏
Someone is trying to log into your Microsoft account dozens of times a day.
Google: “Scan this code with a phone to login”
Me : “I AM ON MY PHONE!!!”
