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. 🤔
Dropbox Users. If you have Dropbox and have 2 factor turned on, just a warning, if you ever lose access to the email that is associated with Dropbox, then you could lose all access to your files. The reason is because Dropbox uses your email to send you the 2 factor code to enter. This has happened to my friend. Dropbox does set up 10 emergency 2 factor codes that will always work that you can write down and keep. The thing is that most people do not know about these codes. To access and write down your codes, go to the Dropbox website and log in, go to settings, then go to security. In there you will find your personal 2 factor codes that you can use each one one time in case of an emergency. And please do not store these codes in your Dropbox, because if you can not access your Dropbox, then you will not be able to access these codes! Store them somewhere safe outside of Dropbox so you can easily access them if needed. #Dropbox#TwoFactor#Codes#Website#security
