    Two factor authentication is the bane of my existence. It is #ANNOYING! I misplace all the time. This may be related to my #ADHD but maybe not since that hasn’t improved since my doctor put me on Vyvanse while everything else in my life more-or-less has. From a security standpoint I get it, but I do get so concerned about how much of one’s identity is tied to your phone these days. Not only does that hurt people who chose not to have a cell phone, but how easy is it for me to lose everything if someone else steals my cell phone.

    In fact Facebook requiring me to activate #2FA to continue to utilize my account was the primary driving factor between me using Friendica as my primary social media now rather than Facebook, even though I first joined the ‘verse back in 2011, when it was called simply open source microblogging and was pretty much just identi.ca/feeds/7gqal0c2pesei9… (if you had an account there, it still works BTW and @Evan Prodromou has indicated he plans to integrate ActivityPub by this summer, after its previous protocols, StatusNet and Pump.io, have fell out of favor). @Passwords @neurodiverse@hexbear.net @netsec@links.hackliberty.org @ADHD

      #2FA with a https://www.yubico.com/ Yubikey or https://solokeys.com/ Solokey is pretty decent. But a lot of sites choose not to support real 2FA / #MFA and instead require a cell phone number (weak, because your phone is easy to subvert ... call your cellular provider and tell them they're you and they have a new phone. The "helpful" people there will gladly give control of your number to an entirely different sim card).
