  • True. While it’s definitely more secure than their other 2FA offering (storing them with your passwords), it’s still the same developers making both - so it still feels like putting all my eggs in one basket.

    For IOS I can see this as a valid option, because unless you are willing to trust Microsoft, Google, or Authy with your 2FA, which I personally don’t think one should, then you haven’t got too many options.

    But on Android there are plenty others that are known to be reliable, Aegis for example, so the value proposition is lessened for me at least.






  • No offence to you, but that doesn’t always have to be true. When the going gets serious, of course it has to be political, but one can certainly joke around and have fun without things turning political.

    If you can’t do literally anything with anyone without it becoming political, even in safe spaces, then the problem isn’t who you are, it’s that you’ve got nothing else to talk about but politics.


  • You say that as though being a minority gives carte blanche to make any discussion you’re involved in political - bigots may try to make you political, but many folks are more than happy to live and let live. I mean I certainly wouldn’t want to talk about my ASD all the time.

    That means what you wrote is an expression of your privilege, and is therefore itself a political statement.

    The privilege to have sought out communities where I don’t always have to speak about politics, or where I can debate people on more harmless subjects? You can do that too you know…

    And if everything suddenly becomes political around you where it wasn’t before, it might not necessarily be because you’re a minority, it might be because you’re the one politicising things, ala my first comment.



  • I’m a bit late to the party, but I would be inclined to agree with the majority here. Your choice to have their cookies deleted on browser close is adding more friction to an already quite high friction process - you managed to get them to switch over, you don’t want to undo all that over cookies of all things.

    You have to remember, it is their machine at the end of the day, and while you might be able to put up with having to redo 2FA loads due to cookie deletion, they’re clearly not… And if that’s going to be the dealbreaker, you’re far better off forgetting cookie deletion for now and focusing on more passive privacy options like blocking 3rd party cookies, trackers, and ADs.
