Because one password is already bad enough, now I need two passwords?
Discussion
What you are describing is specifically NOT 2FA. Two passwords would be only one factor, not two.
OK, so instead of two passwords I'm supposed to have INFINITE passwords.
What?
🤔
That’s not how that works. Do you really not know what MFA is or are you joking?
My apologies if it was a joke.
A password is simply something you know. You only need 1, not 2, not INFINITE as you say, just 1.
Then you need another factor (something you have, or something you know, or someone you know, etc. The password(s) is(are) only one of the two factors.
The second factor can be a certificate, a hardware token, a seeded RNG, biometrics, a geo-location, and on and on.
GitHub should have MFA at least optionally, Nostr should have MFA at least optionally. It’s up to them or
If Microsoft decides it’s mandatory on their platform, so be it.
Yes but don't forget to buy all the proprietary hardware keys but make sure to buy 2 so you have one as backup incase you lose one.
Your personal security is at stake and it is very much related to national security.
So everyone must listen to the security experts because they have have read articles on the internet and watched hours on YT so we don't have to. 2FA 🤘
What priority keys are you talking about?
Own your 2FA.
'Hardware' keysfobs brother. but no, you can't "own" your 2FA. Cause it's a web2.0 server based concept.
What you want is to generate your own private key and then call it a day :-)
Be insecure, that’s your choice.
You can own your other factors, you’re just wrong and embracing it.
MFA you can own:
- An email domain and server
- A certificate
- open source Fido2 Security key
- Geolocation via IP address or GPS or network node
- Time-Based OTP
The only one of those that technically relies on someone else is your DNS provider for your mail domain or ISP for geolocation.
One man lives an in a house surrounded by good neighbours.
Another man lives in a house with five locks and a barking dog alarm.
Which of the two men would you call insecure?
I’m sure you are joking..
