Especially for personal accounts.
I get why a corporation would require it for employees…
But I hate it when Apple, Samsung, etc. are forcing you to have 2fa, especially by requiring a phone number.
Side note: Bitwarden will be requiring email verification codes starting in February 2025, for those who haven’t enabled 2fa yet (see my Post in YSK). Most people store their email credentials in their password vault… so a lot of people are gonna get locked out of their bitwarden vaults. I kinda hate it, especially on such sort notice (less than 10 days).
This is the correct answer. MFA should be enforced for literally every account you have, and the method should be app-based or a hardware token.
It turns out that people en masse are lazy and will use the same simple password for all their accounts and then wonder how they got hacked. People in tech for the past 30 years or so struggled with the difference between theory and practice when it came to user psychology, and I am happy that we are finally starting to realize the user psychology aspect and just force them to be secure.
