A robust alternative to 2FA has to take into account three super common scenarios:
- you are in a foreign city and have been mugged, your wallet and phone have been stolen from you
- you have dropped your keys down the drain
- you are homeless, your phone has just died, and your only computer is a public access library computer running Internet Explorer 6. you are not able to afford a monthly subscription to Bitwarden
🇳🇱
@alexandria All 2fa already has provisio s for this. You simply backup securiely the shared secret you use when creating your 2fa. You can store thrm in a password manager and if you loose your 2fa you can thrn just restore it from the backup shared secrets.
@faisal @alexandria You go to the library and download the git repo you have it stored in :)
@freemo @alexandria ok, how do you access that shared secret of pw manager if you have no phone or wallet and are away from home?
