I use 2FA for everything. Whatsapp, Google, Github as well as Microsoft. 

 

It will be interesting to compare this with the Solokey I am currently using.

I would love a Yubikey, currently I use Google 2FA asI use all Android/Windows gear. The key would  make life easier

 

Thanks

Currently using a mix of authentication apps and sms texts to run 2FA across a few services. Both seem to work fairly painlessly which is good.

The idea of a hardware key appeals and I would love to try something like this and learn some new things about it as I go.

Thanks for the opportunity to enter.

I use Authy as its cross platform and lets you backup your keys. Also use keepass stored on dropbox for cross device password storage

I standardised around Google authenticator, mostly because it was required for work.

Using Google Authenticator, Okta and Microsoft Authenticator.

That works!

Currently use MFA for a lot of accounts and have looked at these as another level to secure these accounts.

I almost always enbable 2FA when it is available, and currently use several different authenticator apps (Authy for personal accounts and a different app for work accounts).

 

I have always been curious about switching to a physical key and I'd definitely be keen to give this a go.

I try to use 2FA ... but I am not the most consistent in applying it, even though I know that I should.

Thankfully it is becoming the norm, so uptake should only get better

Yes I have installed 2FA on laptop and phone but I am not sure what authenticator I have downloaded. it"s either google or Microsoft, I think. I'm getting a bit long in the tooth and get a bit confused using 2FA, so takes me a while to get it right. Anything that would simplify matters would be very welcome. Fingers crossed.

 

Cheers, Ash

I use 2FA wherever possible but only via authenticator apps, would love to go with a hardware approch.

Mostly Authy but also the Microsoft Authenticator and a little bit of SMS. Would be nice to have a physical option as a backup.

Thanks Yubico!
