Going forward, consider using an authenticator that securely syncs across multiple devices to remove the single point of failure risk.

I use Proton Authenticator now [0]

Authy used to do this, then they enshittified their app and bricked the desktop version.

Google authenticator supports syncing across multiple devices.


is that new? I migrated at the time from GA to Authy and from Authy to Ente because it was not supported.

So relatively new, and I didn't know this and moved to proton for this reason recently.


Another thing to know: in the hamburger menu there is a "require face id option". Turn it on, otherwise if your phone is snatched from you (while unlocked), they can access your 2-factor codes.


I don't get why that is not the default.
