> Once I added 2FA to my Github account, it became less secure for me. Because security is not only about being protected from intrusion, but also about being able to securely access data at any time and in any circumstances. Why is he mixing stuff he shouldn't? I didn't find a reasonable explanation why 2FA makes things less secure. Not being able to access your account is more secure and not less secure. This article has to do with having a backup plan to access your account and not with security. Or maybe "security" as in "peace of mind". As for Microsoft Authenticator, the data is being backed up and can be restored. Except Microsoft accounts, they require reconfiguration and... is useless to have it backed up and gives false sense of "security" (peace of mind).
