[–] faerbit@feddit.de 19 points 3 years ago (1 child) Hard disagree. I do not want to have 2FA for every shittly little thing I do not care about. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] CoderKat@lemm.ee 1 point 3 years ago Yeah. GitHub makes sense because most users are writing code that can be executed by others. That makes GitHub accounts security critical. But a Lemmy account? Naw, you lose almost nothing if that gets compromised. A little bit of history and subscriptions, mostly. I'm in a discord that for some reason "requires" 2FA. Based on searching, I think they give everyone some kinda admin role or something? It doesn't actually require 2FA, but it shows a very annoying warning that covers up a bunch of the channel selection screen. But despite that, I don't really wanna deal with the hassle of 2FA on a chat app that's basically consequence free for me if it gets exploited. permalink fedilink source parent
