  • This is actually really good of them to realize that there is a market for another, separate, 2FA app to be honest. I don’t trust or like Google nor Microsoft. Authy is crap and going down the drain.

    Using 2FAS now but not really feeling it.

    If I could self host this and have redundancy/offsite backups I would probably move to this separate solution (Outside of regular Bitwarden).

    Keeping the passwords and 2fa tokens in the same app is like writing the password on a post-it underneath the keyboard.




  • Have you looked at the second hand market of used Rolex Watches vs First Generations of Smart Watches?

    I’m not trying to put anyone down jut fact remains,you can flip the Rolex you buy on the second hand market and get money back after 10+ years.ä without any problems.










  • Sensitive conversations on government level are preferably held in controlled environments, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensitive_compartmented_information_facility , or offices that are fit for the purpose. Not hotel rooms.

    Depending on the what information level , technology can be present but in that case controlled technology that users can’t screw up by connecting to insecure wifi networks or even use if they are tampered with.

    You don’t have sensetive conversations over customer grade cellphones with a encrypted app.

    Consumer grade cellphones are generally considered insecure and uncontrollable.

    Even hints to it in the article:

    ““I think that’s a good lesson for everybody: never use hotel internet if you want to do a secure call,” Germany’s ambassador to the UK, Miguel Berger, told the BBC this week. Some may feel the advice came a little too late. Eyebrows were raised when it emerged the call happened on the widely-used WebEx platform - but Berlin has insisted the officials used an especially secure, certified version.”

    A normal WebEx connection is encrypted but not the the level of government use. Encryption and certificates isn’t a 100% guarantee that things are secure enough on a government level.

    Likely use of a uncontrolled device over a uncontrolled connection in a uncontrolled environment or one of them.

    I like that more and more websites have realized they are loosing traffic on denying ad blockers so that they offer the options to “disable and support” or “continue anyway”.

    Traffic is king and people will find other sites if you try to be a hard ass about it.
