Nerdy Advice: Turn on 2FA for your logins

[Ovibos]

I just discovered that this forum supports two-factor authentication (2FA) for logins, and I highly recommend people do that (not just here - everywhere!)

That way, people can't just steal your password and login as you. ('Sergio' starts liking blue guitars, 'Dusty' renounces purple, etc.)

For a phone app to generate the one-time passwords, I use 1Password. You can also use "Duo Mobile" or (I think) "Google Authenticator".

Google Authenticator is the best thing since sliced bread. And works perfectly for this site.

Yep. Altho I use 1Password for all my conventional passwords, and now that it supports 2FA...

I do still use Duo for our corp stuff b/c there's a case in which it can push auth to it. Then you just tap 'accept' on phone.

I have not tried Google Authenticator here, did not know you could.
But over on my forum I have to use it when logging into the admin panel.
