I hate 2fa so very much and long for the world of the past where just having a fucking account and a password was enough, now you need to check your fucking email and wait for a fucking text to turn on your fucking toaster
I don't care what security nerds say I don't need every single fucking god damn thing to have the same security as a bank account
Bro wants hacked 💀
ok hack me
I used to hate it too. Now I understand the importance of security and believe 2FA should be required everywhere.
Used to agree to this, until it turned out that SMS basically doesn't work in rural areas.. Theoretically you can get a voice call with the code, but I've personally ran into instances where the 2FA voice call simply doesn't work on landlines. If we're going to do 2FA, it has to be something so universal anyone can do it. So far, I don't think we've achieved that. I think people have a right to access banking services, etc, and if 2FA doesn't work for them, we're deciding to ban them from using those services. Doesn't sit right with me.
Would passkeys solve your grievances for you?
And the password’s already been compromised and distributed so far and wide your neighbor’s dog knows it by memory.
If my 16bit alphanumeric password in ancient Mayan and morse code is operationally useless, can we just sign in via emoji?
