You Should Know
YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: Itβs helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated.

Where TOTP is concerned is you enroll multiple devices for redundancy, and there are scratch codes. Plus you'll eventually be forced to resolve this issue when passkeys become more mainstream.
Happy to help or talk through things if you'd like a hand getting comfortable with MFA π©΅
I don't like MFA. If the password/passphrase is strong enough, why need MFA? If its software MFA (like an app) a malware that could steal the password would also be capable of stealing the MFA.
If its hardware, one fire in my house, and all the keys are dead. (And I do not want to deal with a safe deposit box or burying the backup hardware keys in the woods somewhere, honestly, I don't know where I would put the backup keys)
Edit: Lmfao MFA cultists be downvoting π€£
I'm not even advocating against MFA, I just personally dislike it. Wtf y'all π€£
Please give MFA another look, it really is better security to use it.
The problems you mentioned: you keep the MFA backups in a password manager.
I know youβre worried about losing access to that password manager, use two different ones, write down your most important several passwords in a locked place, etc. itβs better.
I'm afraid I can't help you with the ideological problem mate, only the practical one π You've got sync or multiple devices, and you'll have to pick π€·
