A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

That's why you always use discipline in handling security credentials. Two factors won't save you if your lack of discipline gets both of them compromised.
And I don't appreciate other people's lack of discipline creating risks for me. Password databases and private keys can be backed up, but if I lose my phone for some reason, I also lose anything that depended on that phone for authentication, and I have no way to recover quickly from such an event.
