Where do you keep your two-factor auth backup codes?

#2fa #security #twoFactorAuth

The funniest part is that no matter how many security factors we use to replace passwords (two factor auth, passkeys, security keys, etc) there's always a backup that's just another password.

Why does #Sharkey / #Misskey need an "authenticator app" registered before you can use a hardware key? That doesn't make sense #security wise.

Yeah I know it's to prevent people from just accidentally getting locked out of their accounts, but there should be an option for #FediAdmins to allow this risk. 🤔

SMS should only ever be used for 2FA if no better option exists. Authentication apps and hardware security keys are considerably better options.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your Mastodon account if you haven't already.

The "bad actors" who already "got their lulz" from Facebook and Twitter have realized that Mastodon has become large enough to be a worthwhile target.

Shields Up! Practice safe security.

Enable Two-Factor Auth (2FA) from your Mastodon Account Settings if you have not already.

A short blog post on FOSS options for 2FA, especially if interested in configuring multiple devices. I've just set up with Gnome Authenticator and Aegis Authenticator. #TwoFactorAuth #2FA #OpenSource #Gnome #Aegis https://indii.org/blog/open-source-alternatives-for-two-factor-authentication/

What TOTP app can I add to my phone that's not google?

#TwoFactorAuth

I didn't see it the other day, but I note mstdn.social has support for hardware keys in the Two-Factor Authentication settings. This is nice. And if you don't use those, please consider use the other code-generating option to protect your account.

#twofactorauth I just set up #2fa and it wasn’t easy as the website does this weird thing where you tap Account and then have to tap again to see the sub-categories. Also, copy/pasting the code into 1Password fails because it has spaces. Removing the spaces worked.

Voi utilizzate la #2FA per tutti i vostri account? Se sì, a quale servizio o app vi affidate? (Nei commenti)
Io personalmente utilizzo #Aegis (app #FOSS) che è un'app meraviglia rispetto a servizi come #Google Authenticator.

What's the best #FLOSS #twoFactorAuth app for #ios? Anyone got any recommendations?

Security is important to us, so we now require our employees to use a fifth auth factor, which is an interpretive dance of your choosing, to be changed every two months. #infosec #twofactorauth

And yes, obviously I have unstarred #twofactorauth and starred #dongleauth.

BTW follow-up on the #twofactorauth issue, who did not want to add #Nextcloud, #Mastodon etc.

The fork #dongleauth by #Nitrokey now merged my PR to add Nextcloud (and Mastodon was in there before): https://github.com/Nitrokey/dongleauth/pull/167#issuecomment-439927479
