    2FA is enshittification now?

    I mean… I guess in a way it is a symptom of it, if you consider the growing concern of hacking part of enshittification and this, a method of stopping or at least slowing an attack down, being a product of that.

    It’s more of an anti-enshittification device that just comes with a slight bit of shittiness in the form of another step to logging in.

      Yeah, it just winds me up when sites impose these bits of shittiness on you without allowing you to opt out. Because I was happy to sacrifice a bit of my account’s security for convenience

        Keepass (open source password manager) can auto-fill not just username and password, but also generate and fill in one-time codes

        Reduces the security the 2FA provides, but after i started using that it was pretty much zero extra effort to log in
