I mean, you should have a safe for a million reasons. Mine was bought from Groupon for $50 and wouldn't even keep out a determined teen if they didn't mind the intrusion being detected.
It just gives you a single location in your house which you know nobody could accidentally open up and misplace the contents. It's where our passports and other foundational government documents, ATM cards, and yes, 2FA materials go. When you keep that kind of stuff in say, a desk or nightstand drawer, it's vulnerable to the 'oh crap, we cleaned out that drawer' attack, where you or your family members toss that stuff inadvertently.
Try a safe, it's great.
- JohnFen 4y agoNah, I'm good. I have all the benefits you cite without having to bother with a safe. I was just reacting to the somewhat bizarre idea that owning a safe is something we should be expecting people to do for their online stuff.
- NavinF 4y agoWell said. It's hard for me to imagine how an adult could have such an uneventful life that they don't possess anything worth locking up.
- JohnFen 4y agoWho said people that don't own safes don't have anything worth protecting? Safes aren't the only option.
- xp84 4y agoIt sounds like you're choosing to interpret "safe" far too narrowly. I understand for opsec you likely don't want to share the specifics, but if you have "all the benefits" of my safe, good for you, sounds like you've got a safe: * Single location for things you've only got one of, or which are super valuable and small * Not somewhere that a burglar would just immediately check (rules out places like "nightstand drawer") It sounds like you're just bragging that you've saved $50 by not having a true lock on your thing. I'm guessing you're pretty sure you've hidden it so well that a lock isn't worth "bothering with." Good for you! Enjoy your safe regardless.
