Which is idiotic, as having your seeds on your desktop no longer makes it two factor authentication, rendering the use of phrase factually incorrect.

- reddalo 3y agoIf you login on some services on your phone, you have the same problem. 2FA protects you mainly from password leaks, not from people phisically accessing your devices.
- shortsunblack 3y agoYou do not have the same problem, though. Sandboxing on mobile OSes is much more severe. No app can just magically access the rendering context of other application without elaborative million dollar exploits.
- freedomben 3y agoYes, very much agree. I am uncomfortable with the idea of putting them into a cloud service such as bitwarden, not because of a distrust for bitwarden, but rather having them on the cloud and/or in the same place as the passwords feels like big reduction in security. Simply having them on an additional local device does not feel like much of a change to me. To each their own though, and everyone has a different level of risk, and a different level of risk tolerance. With all security, it comes down to an evaluation of that. I know some people in a very safe area who don't even lock their car or their house. They have not had any issues, and it can be very convenient not to have locks. That security posture is not for me, but it works for them.
