    And this is why smart people don’t use text message to factor authentication, if at all possible. App based OTP is much safer

      I wish the companies that decide to only allow SMS 2FA (or none at all) will fucking realize this sooner rather than later

        Exactly. I don’t have a physical key because I would want one that has open source hardware and software.

          I believe Solokey is a brand that makes open source hardware keys.

          Edit: they might only be fido 2 level 1 and not level 2 like yubikey

          Edit 2: apparently there’s also openkey and nitrokey so those are some more options for you.

            Thanks, I will check them out, though, that only being level 1 could be a problem.
