Ransomware is getting smarter by the day!
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
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
