    tbh this might be a good thing (not talking about amazon)

    • as it normalizes MFA/2FA/TOTP
      • which would help increase adoption
        • and therefore it would increase users’ security hygiene

      2FA is cool for things that are important, like my bank account, or probably my AWS account. We don’t need it for everything and it’s pretty annoying when rinky dink little websites force it on us.

        of course👍

        the sites that would benefit users the most from implementing these would be those that retains user sensitive information:

        • shopping
        • banking
        • sns
        • medical
      • @towerful

        Rinky dink little websites should use federated logins, imo.

          Like Discus, Facebook, or Google? The problem with that is then you have another big ass company tracking everything you’re signed up to and selling your data.
