How do you feel about mandatory 2fa policies? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Especially for personal accounts.

I get why a corporation would require it for employees...

But I hate it when Apple, Samsung, etc. are forcing you to have 2fa, especially by requiring a phone number.

Side note: Bitwarden will be requiring email verification codes starting in February 2025, for those who haven't enabled 2fa yet (see my Post in YSK). Most people store their email credentials in their password vault... so a lot of people are gonna get locked out of their bitwarden vaults. I kinda hate it, especially on such sort notice (less than 10 days).

Phone/SMS 2FA is a joke. You can tell which organizations need to be ditched.

Sure its deeply flawed in a bunch of ways, but it is miles better than nothing

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 2 points 4 days ago

Depending on the implementation, it's better than nothing

Oh... so you mean like... banks?

🤔

(Guess I gotta find a good mattress to put my money in... 😓 /s)

(Seriously tho, everything like government stuff, taxes, university, everything now requires 2fa, most are sms 2fa 😡, I hate this.)

My small credit union with nine branches offers TOTP 2FA
