I use Google Authenticator as well as old-fashioned SMS codes for 2FA.

"I regret to say that we of the F.B.I. are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce." — J. Edgar Hoover

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

I use Authy a lot, and would love to use a Yubikey - I've looked them up several times but never actually purchased.

Have used one for my old work that didn't have NFC and had to return it when I left.
Was great for using as 2FA on my accounts, incredibly useful, being able to use it to do the full logon on some accounts.
Would be great to have a personal one to help protecting all of my accounts.

I already use a yubikey for my work authn, but I'd like to use more 2FA for non-work stuff. At present, I use a mix a Google and Microsoft Authenticator...

I use 2 factor authentication on my most of my accounts when I can. I prefer TOTP or hardware keys rather than SMS due to the ability for attackers to social engineer their way into getting access to mobile phones. It's a bit of a pain having to always have the extra device handy but better than losing access to an account.

I use Authy App on a Private Tracker. I am not very good with it, waiting for a melt-down. lol.

Perhaps this giveaway will be easier to use if I am so lucky.

Using a mix of Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator and Authy across two devices. Can't emphasise enough how important effective MFA is - both in my role as a cybersecurity practitioner and educator, and in my daily life. Would love to add a Yubikey option to my library, especially if it makes it easy to encourage others to pick it up as an option!

No signature to see here, move along...

Currently use Authy (Google Authenticator) and some Totp via keepass.
I also use Microsoft Authenticator for work stuff plus the good-old SMS auth from one of my banks (the other has their own authentication agent).

Would love one Auth to rule them all!

I've been using and encouraging others to use 2FA/MFA for years.

I use both Google and Microsoft's authenticator Android apps.

For most logons I also use Bitwarden. I probably would still be on LastPass if they'd not crippled their free offering last year so much.
Now that I've been using Bitwarden for sometime I'm absolutely loving it. I use it in Chrome (although I rarely used this data-mongering beast even if it's still the world's most popular browser), Firefox (my goto browser of choice that respects user data) and Edge. It's also installed on my Android phone and helps me input usernames and passwords in various ways there too.

I'm not sure quite how I'd get my head around a physical authentication device - given I tend to lose USB sticks at a great rate.

Cheers, Duncan.
