I personally am fine with this.
2FA is the biggest bane to my productivity in the last 15 years, no part of my work life should require me to pull out my magic distraction device.
โฆthrough a third-party cloud server that you have no good reason to trust. No bueno. Keep sensitive information off the cloud unless you want it to become public.
yup, thatโs the tradeoff, this or reaching for your procrastinating device, but yeah, maybe Bitwarden could be better alternative, now iโm too lazy to migrate + itโs paid
This! Authy is very very nice. Syncing accounts is a life saver, both as backup, and not having to pick up the phone all the time.
Cut and pasting with a click instead of reading and typing, is so much faster.
Easily search the very long list of entries.
Not open source tho, but free as in beer.
If Aegis had the sync option, i would have used that. But it did not last time i checked.
Allowing a smartphone access to anything sensitive is even worse advice. Smartphones are notoriously insecure.
1password does this, too and itโs magical. Iโve had my SMS go to my browser via Google Messages for a while, but itโs so much easier to just auto-fill it instead of copy/paste
I donโt like how a lot of things require their own custom app, especially when thereโs no automatic notification. I need to try and remember what the app is called, open it, navigate through, then approve it
I like the app setup rather than shoving everything into a browser. But Iโm not a fan of this 2fa stuff. I get the point is security, but let me decide which app/method to use, and whether I want to use it at all. Otherwise itโs just annoying.
Iโm absolutely a fan of choosing which method to use, and also a fan of requiring choosing one. I prefer Google Authenticator-style 2FA (I use Aegis, but there are plenty of options), and I get annoyed when I need something else (e.g. Fidelity only offers Symantec, Steam only offers Steam Guard, etc).
