This is an oversimplification of the problem. Many times a search engine returns useful results inside reddit. You're not going there because you love reddit as a platform, but because you need something that someone posted in there.

It's a circus out there...

One of my financial institutions supports yubikeys, but does not have the option to turn off sms 2fa. A chain is as strong as the weakest link, as usual.

Another only has sms 2fa and bizarrely allows me to specify any phone number at login time to receive the code. WTF?

Most only have 2fa via sms. When you talk about using an authenticator app people bitch and moan because they have to cut and paste those digits into the login page. Oh, the humanity...

Don't even get me started on sites with "roll your own" schemes, like forcing you to install their app (which requires all permissions under the sun) just to accept a push message and allow you to login on their website.

The real problem is that these people live in a world of fantasy and prep for the zombie apocalypse. It's this quasi sexual thing where they get a hard on for shooting everyone that moves, without guilt of any kind.

The problem with their approach is that the zombie apocalypse won't happen and the people with guns are likely to be the ones starting the problem when things go slightly bad.

BTW, I have lived through natural catastrophes where we got isolated and without power for many days. Curiously, neighbors got together and helped each other. No rapists or crazy marauders. Sadly, everybody went back to their natural state of isolation once the crisis was averted.

    My favorite religious saying is "God helps those who help themselves". This is a bit like that old story of the pill that kills your thirst, but you have to take it with a cup full of water.

    It is outrageous because if a sufficient number of people accept this bullshit, it becomes a viable and profitable business model and every provider moves into it. Basically people like me who run away from subscriptions like the devil end up without a choice.
