      SMS 2FA might aswell "pls no break" authentication, it's incredibly insecure.

      yet all 2fa (except for fricking steam guard) all force sms codes. including .gov and .bank services. what's up with that?? why a fricking GAYMER SHIT has more security than literal irl related services

        You find technological progress in surprising places. Broadband was originally designed and pushed by porn industry, porn sites were pioneers in tag-based sorting systems. In fact I've yet to see a faster implementation of automated arbitrary query builder than on e621. It's a marvel of technology no other site seems to be capable of even with budgets in the millions.

            Does anybody know if there's a repository or similar of tidbits like these? I am kind of interested in learning more about bleeding edge developments as a result of coomer pioneering, and /cumg/ got nuked IIRC.

        maybe in your meme country, where I live we only use Fido, proprietary authenticator apps for banking (not activated via SMS) or TOTP
        SMS does work for some minor things, but mostly as fallback

        SMS 2FA has a natural backdoor in your phone provider, especially since it usually doubles as an account recovery method. Just click "forgot my password" and subpoena the SMS messages. Or if you've already cracked the password, you can just subpoena the SMS messages for verification codes.
        The other methods aren't as easy to crack. They require physical access or the ability to decrypt and utilize intercepted messages in sub-minute times.

      All according to cake then. I'm far more concerned with heavy push into digital currencies like EUDI wallet, so EU would realtime control every citizens funds like china and employ policies like expiring money, restrictions on who can buy what when and how much.

          Governments want centralized absolute control over your money and make up rules as they go, which cryptos are an antithesis to.

          >password too long
          this makes sense, you dont waste processing power hashing a 20402 character password
          >password doesnt contain !
          agreed, this is dumb
          >password not containing big characters
          I can see why, programmers were too fricking lazy trying to process anything that doesn't conform to utf8. though I can see why

          Why limit it to something like 30 though? Wouldn't limiting inputs to something like 500 be smart? Of course some algos like bcrypt can only handle 56-72 bytes of input depending on implementation, but that's more of a sign to upgrade password algorithm anyway. Something like argon2id which is dynamic difficulty and memory-hard

      Best passwords are living biometrics which can only arise when you are comfortable. Not fingerprints since someone can cut your finger off. Something more like you saying a passphrase out loud while your heart rate is resting. Or a hashing algorithm ran against freshly produced and living ejaculate as a OTP: not just checking the DNA hash but also that there's actual stuff swimming in there. Someone could probably mod a USB fleshlight and solve security once and for all.

      There are two major ways you get unauthorized access:
      - someone who knows you personally, this person benefits from you writing down your passwords
      - jeet dragnet database leaks, this person benefits from you reusing your passwords

      2FA is a temporary rotating code, you don't "write down" your code, you input it alongside your password and it absolutely fricks both the above people

          Even emojis conform to utf8, but it's more likely devs just use a very simple monke regex to see if it's A-Z

    A good way to stop 3rd worlders from compromising your account with credential stuffing and even better way to filter IQfy NEETs and /misc/ manlets from using your service (they think that setting up 2FA is just like getting the jab or bending the knee to some organisation they dont like). Needless to say that its not absolutely fool-proof solution since advanced attacker can try to hijack your login session (u2f key can prevent that in case they use reverse proxy but nothing can really protect you from malware, unless you are on qubes). You should also back up your 2FA to not lock yourself out of accounts (its very easy on android since you can just attach aegis backup to android system backup).

        It's an argument against passwords, not authenticators.
        Passwords are pointless because people save them on phones. Most people would have the same security with less hassle by using 1FA with authenticator only, no password.

      just never lose your phone, its the most important object. keep the microphone, camera, gps computer on you at all times or your life is over and you cannot access any of your accounts. soon you wont be able to make any transactions without it. police will arrest you if you are without your smartphone identification.

    Anons, if you were a bank, how would you authenticate your users on their mobile banking app? Would you make deploy your own proprietary MFA (soft tokens), use a vendor proprietary MFA or make customers use their biometrics (face)? I’d imagine each comes with drawbacks but what would you think would be the most secure? Some banks have their proprietary in built in their apps, some crypto exchanges like Binance make you download another app of theirs to authenticate which is a bit of a drag.
