Google Wants to Make Everyone Use Two Factor Authentication

• pmoriarty 6y ago
  There are ways to implement 2FA in ways that respect people's privacy[1], and I hope Google chooses to do that instead of (the sadly more likely scenario of) choosing ways that get even more information on their users, like requiring users to run Google apps or give Google their phone numbers. [1] - Such as what FastMail used to do, which is to let their users print out a set of single-use random words which could be typed in along with the user's password when they log in.

  This headline reads a little like the culture war anti-"Big Tech" headlines one sees occasionally. Will we see this turned into a culture war dogma, with adherents of one US political party refusing to do 2FA?

    One side will have issue with a particular detail (eg, it shouldn’t be run by Google) and the other side will attack this as being anti 2fa
