I applaud any effort to fix the "password problem," but isn't this functionally equivalent to just using the "Forgot my password, email me a reset code" link every time you want to log in?
- toomuchtodo 13y agoSo instead of replying on $WebAppOfTheWeak to lose my password (I'm looking right at you Adobe), I can rely on the two factor auth of my Gmail account for security. I'm okay with this.
- subsection1h 13y ago> I can rely on the two factor auth of my Gmail account for security. Does Gmail now support 2FA? The last time I checked, Gmail supported Google's 2-Step Verification. 2SV includes backup codes, which cause 2SV to be 1FA: Password + Backup Codes = Something You Know + Something You Know = 1FA
- daleharvey 13y agoI find that a fairly effective login method for sites with silly password restrictions. I have noticed others mentioning it too.
- codva 13y agoThat is pretty much exactly how I log into sites that I use rarely. I have strong, memorized passwords for the handful of sites I log into frequently. For the rest, I create a good password the first time and don't bother recording it. If I need to log back in in 6 months I just use the password reset feature.
