- fatfingerd 4y agoYou also won't have access to the TOTP backup of emergency codes.. If you get hit on the head or have the trauma of your life you might not have a password. These are tradeoffs that people use to balance security. Many people will lose to a sim swap despite not needing access to their life savings while on vacation with absolutely no proof of identity and a fallible memory.

- itake 4y ago> TOTP backup of emergency codes These are encrypted in my password manager that is sync'd to the cloud. I only have 1 password and 1 backup code I need to memorize.
- fatfingerd 4y agoSure, and achieving only 1FA with 2FA primitives and hoping you never encounter a keylogger is also a trade off..
