How is privacy destroyed by using a well implemented 2FA solution? I understand TOTP standard supports generating tokens locally with no network access required.
- jqpabc123 5y agoHow is privacy destroyed by using a well implemented 2FA solution? Most 2FA; including Google, default to using your phone number or worse, access to your device from their software. Post your phone number and I will show you how this destroys your privacy.
- ergot_vacation 5y agoExactly. And this goes beyond the company itself abusing your trust. There's a major data breach at a large company almost every month now. Unless absolutely necessary, never give any personally identifiable data to any company, because they will get hacked, and that info will end up on the net, where it can be abused.
- gowld 5y agoOK but we're discussing Google, which users already trust with essentially all their data.
- jqpabc123 5y agoGood point. If you really understood or cared about privacy, you wouldn't be following the Google herd. They probably already have all your personal info so why not verify it so they can be sure they have it right? It's really what's best for your own protection. It's not like Google is "evil" or something. Mooo!
