   If we're talking OTP/TOTP -- it's all the same. Even if a provider instructs you to use a specific app, e.g. Google or Authy, you can simply scan the QR code with whatever authenticator app you're using. All the QR code

   You've joined a startup as their growth lead and you don't know the answer to this?

   Yep. I've done this. Lots of people I know use "burner" phones without cellular for 2FA.

   If you use Authy, turn off "allow multi-device" and SIM-swapping isn't an issue. This should be on regardless of the leak.

   Do what I do and turn off "allow multi-device." Problem solved -- even if your phone number is stolen, they can't recover your 2FA because it's locked to the device too.

   Thanks for the shoutout. To be clear -- Keygen doesn't do payment processing (so no MOA), but here to answer any questions.

   I have 5+ acres, so a lot of my weekend is spent maintaining it (or learning how to), working in my wife's garden, and taking care of my animals. Outside of that, I have a wife and 2 small kids so a lot of my time is spent with them an

   Proton was also down a bit today. Are they somehow related?

    I ebb and flow. Sometimes the failed test consumes me and I end up staying up late after the family goes to bed to solve it. :) It kind of flows into the author's other point, "if I’ve got it, use it."

    What was so interesting to work on at dA? Multiple people in this thread have mentioned how fun it was. I'm wondering what was so fun about it. Seems like a pretty simple application from the outside, but maybe there were some fun tech

    In my case, Keygen is a very critical part of a business -- much like billing -- so making sure it's reliable, secure, and well-maintained is paramount. This fact, in and of itself, weeds out most individuals (and businesses) who want

    I've sold multi-year and perpetual EE licenses for this exact reason -- to reduce risk of eventually losing EE features if Keygen LLC goes under and is unable to renew EE licenses. So in this case, if Keygen LLC goes under, they still

    Thanks for the kind words. I've seen quite a lot of open/fair source companies this past year. But I'd love to see even more! (And I'd really love to see more bootstrapped ones!)

    I looked at SSPL, but it was really between BUSL and ELv2 for me. I ultimately chose ELv2 because it allowed me to keep my community edition and enterprise edition in a monorepo, where the latter edition is protected by license keys, i.e. E

    It's bleeding edge -- not even "official" yet. It's meant to be an umbrella term to replace the 'open source' vs 'source available' debacle when discussing permissive 'almost-open-source' no

    I make the choice. I don't really listen to specifics like that from customers. I'm a SaaS, not a consultancy. Instead, I try to fully understand the customer's problem and then provide a solution to it a way that will work f

    How would I know if somebody forked and rebranded Keygen's API to compete with me? I feel like it'd be pretty obvious unless they redesigned the entire API schema, endpoints, etc. Not really something I'm worried about.

    Keygen uses Keygen to license itself via license gates: https://github.com/keygen-sh/keygen-api/blob/e668dffbb90bd53... (the EE edition requires a license key with entitlements to access the EE features).

    It'd be a violation of the license terms. Other than that, I may send Liam Neeson after them. :)
