do people like authenticator apps?i broke my phone and got locked out of my bank, steam, post office and other things.everysingle one needed an authenticator or some app i didn't have access to anymore.i had to take out my sim and plug it into another phone to end up using the sms verification stuff, if i didn't have another phone, i'd be screwed.do people enjoy this? like are jobs made solely for this so they won't go away?I'm honestly so lost why things need to be so complex now, where just not having a single device causes so many issues
No. Most people into tech are faggots and create security theater while selling your data to everyone and anyone they can
This happened to me once. I just opened my drawer and used the recovery codes I printed for every service and I got all my 2FA back.
It should answer your question when you need to download a new authenticator app for each service. They’re bullshit.
>>108507866Google Authenticator backs up to to your Google account nowadays. Aegis has a back up feature too that it will nag you about if you haven't backed up your data. You have to be a complete retard to have lost your auth app access.
>>108507871Which shouldn't they?
No. They're still better than fucking email 2fa because if you lose your email address, you are locked out for life. You can't back up a gmail address, but you can back up your authenticator keys. Not with google authenticator though, I use aegis.
>>108507866i have authenticator on my phone for my work VPN. i've thought about what a pain in the ass it would be if my phone died. then i stopped caring because it's mr. shekelberg's problem. all forms of authentication and 2FA are fucking retarded. whoever invented this nonsense is going to be tortured in hell for all eternity.
