   A robust alternative to 2FA has to take into account three super common scenarios:

   - you are in a foreign city and have been mugged, your wallet and phone have been stolen from you

   - you have dropped your keys down the drain

   - you are homeless, your phone has just died, and your only computer is a public access library computer running Internet Explorer 6. you are not able to afford a monthly subscription to Bitwarden

     @feld @alexandria bitwarden authenticator is not included in the free version. Also, gotchas aren't a fun reply style.

     Please tell me what "TeamPleroma" means to you. What lies have you been fooled into believing?

     @wxcafe sorry we require a security key that is generated by a cryptographic hash stored on your phone and regenerated every 30 seconds,

     @alexandria I mean the 2fa solution here is "I call up the bank and social engineer my way in" which always works

     I really do not give a shit what 2FA solution you think you have, it cannot cope with at least one or more of these scenarios that happen, literally, every day
