@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 What is this "seriousness" of which you speak?

@jzb my first comment of explaining and showing how easy it actually is.

1. I'm not a customer of #Bitwarden and I strongly recommend not even thinking about it. A commercial service at this point in the chain, what could possibly… really.
2. 2FA severly damages the UX of following simple and effective safety guidelines, like deleting cookies once a day.
3. 2FA undermines good habits like keeping your phone number private. E.g., when I have to log into my webmailer in somebody else's browser to copy the code, I gain ZERO security.
