Users are getting dumber by the day!! Half the comments in privacy imply users don't know what they are talking about and need to see a therapist

You couldn't glean the sarcasm from my comment?
I know that 2FA is important for security

No, based on the silliness i see in privacy. The /s is useful and to deny its usefulness is ignoring the reality of human 2d communication.

Alright, that's a good point, I'll make use of it more

[-] tim-clark@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

Totally agree it is a pain to use it. Just helps with clarity for everyone

Really though people just don't understand the point of 2FA. There is 0 other way to verify identity. Just use a burner number if you're so paranoid sheesh lol
