I find anything that doesn't support U2F keys annoying. It doesn't add any friction when the computer just says "push the USB key", since it's a yubikey nano that's always plugged into the computer.
What REALLY annoys me though is places that do support U2F keys, but only one. Last I checked AWS was broken in this regard. And honestly that adds enough friction that I'd rather do experiments on GCP, which doesn't have this bug.
Not that my experiments affect AWS's bottom line. But it does mean that I learn GCP better, and maybe will recommend it in a work context. Not recommend it because MFA, but because I will better be able to say what GCP product can and can't do, than AWS, because of this.
- slau 3y agoAWS supports multiple U2F keys, I have two on my accounts. The UI is a bit clunky, though. PayPal, on the other hand, only allows a single U2F token.
- knorker 3y agoAs another commenter pointed out, AWS only started supporting multiple MFAs last year. Ugh, but yeah Paypal… that's why I'm still on SMS (SIM hijackable) and TOTP (phishable) with them.
