Wow, a bit harsh. What I was trying to say was that Governments do shit like this, regardless of if they are China, North Korea, Turkey or America. In terms of doing things against their citizens, every country is in the Axis of Evil, so ST

Yes, this is part of what I'm trying to get answers to. Do you tell the user on signup to print an in-case-of-emergency-break-glass password which is only ever to be used to get into a locked account and other special circumstances? It

So what's the answer? Here's two very legitimate scenarios: 1) You sign up, enable two-factor auth, then lock yourself out (lost password and your second-factor). How do you prove to the service provider that you are you? 2) You s
