Your preaching but some ears cant hear you.
I want to turn on 2FA but I dont know when will that day will come.
It also happened to me to loose a smartphone without PIN, and I never thought it would happen and I kept postponing that simple step.
Maybe this time I should listen.
- striking 10y ago2FA isn't hard to use, and is barely inconvenient. How often do you log into your email, anyway? Also, if you lose your phone, you can make use of your recovery code.
- id122015 10y agoThe reason I mentioned about loosing phone was not related to email recovery but the fact that I did not learn the security lesson of not using a PIN to protect my data. After I have read this post I wanted to actually enable 2FA right now, but then I discovered that breaking news, terror attack, and again I postponed, the same like I postponed securing my phone with a PIN.
- Gigablah 10y agoHave you enabled 2FA yet?
- erroneousfunk 10y agoI keep backup codes for my account in two places: My wallet (which I always have on me, so I won't be locked out if I'm traveling), and at home. If you're really paranoid, you could also give backup codes to a friend or relative, or put them in a bank safe or something like that.
