Compared to managing passwords, screwing around with authorization codes sent by email and/or text message, and all the other folderol associated with that model?
- pavlov 3y agoAll the folderol exists so that ordinary people don’t lose their accounts permanently when they inevitably forget a password. With just a private key, no such protection. Unless you take active steps to store the key safely, you’re a few Backspace key presses away from losing your account forever (or at the other end, having it stolen if you leave the key lying around).
