In case this post is not sarcastic: here's a superior and simpler way to do it. 1. Open @bitwarden in the browser (if already not unlocked) Passwords cannot be compromised if securely generated with password managers since they are stupendously strong. Please don't imply that authentication is hard - everyone should be encouraged given its ease. 15 comments
@walterburns @jzb @bitwarden and then ofcourse we have companies which force you to use their own 2fa which is incompatible with de standard(i'm looking at you authy) @mjrider For most people, TOTP is enough and security keys are not necessary. So - my advice applies to most and not all. I am aware. @walterburns  @walterburns @bitwarden The post is largely a sarcastic, or perhaps sardonic, observation what a royal PITA using the Web has become if you happen to use a lot of web-based services / websites with authentication of some sort. (Doubly so if you only log into many of them infrequently.) Note the point about going through all the fuss of 2FA and then being notified the service itself was hacked anyway... which is only a minor exaggeration, unfortunately... @jzb yes I get that my good sir. And I wanted to bring in a little more seriousness to the post by actually informing readers of easy it really is in case anyone may actually be interested in learning. @walterburns @jzb @bitwarden if authentication wasn't hard there wouldn't be people doing research to make it easier (passkeys). password-based authentication with 2FA is a pain in the ass. I know hardly any normal people using password managers. Sigh *rolls eyes* It obviously means authentication and using password managers isn't hard - from the users' POV. Do you not fathom the context of the thread and the discussion? @walterburns Eye roll all you want but its clear you have have never worked with normal people 😂 of course its hard. Auto-fill does not work 100%. Never has for any of the many password managers I've used over the years. Password managers *add* another layer of complexity, not take it away. The best password is no password (passkeys) and not a password manager.  @walterburns @jzb 2FA in Bitwarden requires a premium account. It also doesn't support HOTP and custom MFA auth (like app pushes to Microsoft or DUO), not to mention moronic services that just default to email or phone MFA (looking at you, Eventbrite). But yeah, Bitwarden is very cool. |

@walterburns @jzb @bitwarden He's just pointing out a fact. Independently of how hard/easy auth is, facts should not be ignored.
