This is a ridiculous comment.
It's strange to be on a crusade against increased security for the average user.
Is 2FA the final answer? No. But are you more secure with it than without it? Yes.
We're talking about normal people here that could have their lives ruined if their accounts are compromised.
- BoppreH 9y agoI'm not against enabling two-factor on a website that only supports login+password. I use GMail with two-factor, for example. What I'm against is people treating "username + password + two-factor" as some high bar of security and usability, suitable even for banking systems (as some users implied before). My point is that we should be looking at other solutions. Two-factor is a stop-gap measure. And please don't call other comments "ridiculous". This is not the kind of community I want to participate in, and probably neither do you. Also note I'm not some crank, this is my area of research.
