Vanguard supports U2F.
- ThrustVectoring 8y agoNote that Vanguard requires you to enable SMS two-factor authentication first. Security is only as strong as the weakest link - even if you use U2F for the security challenges, an attacker can still hijack your phone number and use that to answer the challenge. It's still a good sign, but not good enough IMO. Unfortunately other places aren't any better.
- ztjio 8y agoIn theory, if you're worried about SIM hijacking, you could use something like Skype SMS, and secure your access to Skype by 2FA on the associated Live account. Perhaps there are services to choose from as well, but, I'd take great care in determining trust here.
- cbhl 8y agoI was under the impression that Vanguard's U2F fails open if your password is over eight characters long. Is that still true?
- helper 8y agoThis is not true.
