Is there a reputable non-US 2FA authenticator app and/or is it better to use a security key?

@backupscale

Didn't feel right voting because:

3 is flat out wrong: encryption is necessary but not sufficient; if you lose access, encryption is moot, therefore:
rule out 1 and 2: no one location is a guarantee of access.
4: so uncheckable it hurts.

I think the restriction of the poll format hasn't been helpful.

@uriy So what you're saying is that multiple locations should be required? That's a good point; we should have made that an option. Thanks for the feedback!

โ†’ U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid unprecedented cyberattack
nbcnews.com/tech/security/us-o

โ€œThe hacking campaign, nicknamed SaltTyphoon by Microsoft, is one of the largest intelligence compromises in US history, and it has not yet been fully remediated.โ€

โ€œPrivacy advocates have long advocated using end-to-end encrypted E2EE apps.โ€ *sigh*
