This is the issue with companies forcing 2FA on people. I don't see why it's so controversial that people should be able to make their own security decisions on their own accounts.
Yes, I know 2FA is more secure, but sometimes, I just don't care that much.
- soheil 4y agoThis is a cancer that is spreading through tech. I believe SOC2 compliance requires 2FA and the people who set those standards are probably closer to politicians than to software engineers. We don't need stupid banners asking if it's ok to give the site our cookies and we don't need mind numbingly stupid security measures to protect us from ourselves. The paternalism is getting more real on the web everyday.
- doodlebugging 4y agoI agree. For my own Google accounts they have been trying for months to get me to give a phone number. Neither account is under my real name though so there is no way that I will be giving them a phone number. I get around their phone number prompts by hitting the back button and trying the login again. Sometimes I get an option to add it later so I click that. So far, I have had no problems accessing my google accounts with nothing more than a fake.name_@_gmail.com identity. The names really are pretty close to that. LOL I always login in a new window with no other tabs open and delete cookies as I close the window (Firefox). It's like a brand new world every time.
