People really should use multi factor auth on important sites they rely on...

As long as that factor is auth app based, and not email/text/call/proprietary app I’m all in. If I need to go digging for the second factor for 5 minutes, I’m almost always going to turn it off. Texts emails and calls all get delayed regularly, and it’s super fun to have to sit with my thumb up my ass waiting 10 minutes for an OTP that was good for 5.

One time I had to use a website where the email 2FA expired in 30 seconds! I usually keep my email client open while my computer is on, but, come on, that was ridiculous.
