Please don't reuse passwords between different accounts and please use 2FA whenever it's available (not that people who need this advice the most are going to see it anyway)

@Gargron I strongly recommend to use password managers like KeePass, Bitwarden or 1Password to generate different random passwords for every website and to store them safely.

@Gargron As far as I can tell, Mastodon doesn't have SMS based 2FA, and as such (given that I don't trust many smartphones, and am waiting for the Linux-based ones such as the Pinephone and Librem 5 to reach a good state), I can't enable 2FA to keep my account safe.

@Gargron it's worth noting you DO NOT need a smartphone to use 2FA. You can use the TOTP generator built into a password manager like KeePass, which is cross platform.

@Gargron
We feel you. Every time we try to help out or inform others about important changes or dangers it's always those who need it more who ignore us. Of course they later come and complain that they weren't properly told and try to hold us responsible of their failures.

@Gargron Can't people use firefox and use the builtin password generator?
