Do you have a second factor for your VPN? Or is it literally just a passphrase and you’re in? I also need a shared key to access mine, which puts new back at square one (I will not compromise on this)

I do really need what I’ve described because it’s literally a situation I’ve been in.

Do you carry your recovery codes with you at all times?

I guess I could do this, but it seems like a downgrade from my current situation

Well I thought this was kinda obvious what I meant, but I guess not.

Alright, drop the sass, if it was obvious your post wouldn’t be the length it is. Now chill, I genuinely appreciate your response

0, no go

1, also a no go, I can’t guarantee I’ll have an extra thing

2a. No 2fa, so this is a reduction in my current security

2b, this could be workable, I already self-host a number of services, but I want to be sure situational neglect (i.e. life is too busy for me to pay attention) cannot compromise this, therefore it’s gotta be a turnkey solution that I can configure to auto update, which is what I’m asking for in my comment. I need your specific solution for this, generalisms are useless here.

3: Not workable, I can’t rely on someone else being able to help in every possible scenario (and tbh I wouldn’t want to put that responsibility on someone)

4: This is a pretty good one tbh, though I guess if I’m going to pick holes, if the first stage is good enough as the gate, it diminishes the reason to have the second stage, so I’d wonder what you would suggest that could tick all the boxes for that first gate.

Edit: weird numbering formatting to combat lemmy formatting doing weird things

This is specifically a scenario where I’m starting from a single blank device because I’ve just been robbed on the other side of the planet.

Edit: for added weight, I’ve been in this exact scenario. I was able to get my ESIM reprovisioned to a new phone and recover everything within a day. I don’t want to replace authy with a solution that doesn’t cover that scenario

Oh, in that case it’s not quite equivalent, because my cloud storage is protected by the two factor code stored in my Authy OTP database.

I would still need to access the OTP database before I could access the cloud storage, which is where it would be stored in this scenario.

That’s potentially a solution then, as I guess in order to buy a new phone I would need to have not lost my wallet too at least, so I guess I could keep those items together for equivalent recovery possibility

Okay that may be a goer, I’ll look a bit more into it, thanks!

I agree it’s much worse than using a modern OTP app, but I need a way to access my OTP database when the only form of digital identity I have access to is my phone number.

Authy currently supports this scenario for me (with a load of checks, it doesn’t happen instantly), so I would require a like for like replacement

Interesting, I’ve seen this one before but it didn’t seem like it would support my deal-breaker scenario—I still can’t seem to see support for that on the readme, could you point me at some docs?

I’ve looked into this before and unfortunately it doesn’t support the SMS requirement I have in my deal-breaker scenario—do you know if this has changed and can point me to the docs regarding it?

This is a new one to me, but a quick look at their homepage doesn’t seem to suggest SMS support as per my deal-breaker scenario—could you point me to the docs describing that functionality?

Does anyone have a suggested alternative for authy? (Please read the whole post before responding)

I’d love to go with an open source solution as I’ve done with my password manager, but that doesn’t seem possible with one of my big requirements:

Scenario: I’ve had my phone robbed abroad and managed to buy a new one and loaded my ESIM back into it—I need to recover access to my 2 factor database via SMS so I’m able to log into my cloud storage and access my password database.

At this point I’d probably be happy to host a service myself on something like AWS and use SNS for this requirement, but I’m not sure anything like that exists ready to go. I’m not particularly interested in rolling something myself for this.

I’d be dubious of jumping from one closed source product to another, but if there’s a particularly good option I’m all ears, I’ve been otherwise happy with authy for about a decade now, but this plus the retirement of the desktop app have me looking elsewhere.

Aaaand majority!

You just love to see it

They’re going to pass a law in Wales making elected politicians who lie criminals.

Reform can’t exist in that environment, sorry mate

I like how these things keep coming out as if generations are a homogenous group

I work with Gen Z colleagues that use reaction GIFs, I also know millennials that find them cringe

People like different things, you will always be cringe to someone

Guillotunes

Isn’t gaetz one of the ones you wouldn’t want near your kids?

Fair play, cheers for the correction

I bet you any money they still run the fart-sniffing “it’s the sun wot won it” headline tomorrow

Draught Beer

probably a Pale/IPA of some sort

ideally a hazy with Citra, Simcoe, Mosaic and/or Amarillo hops

definitely something from Cloudwater, Sureshot, Verdant, Deya, Track or Lerwig if I happen to be somewhere with it on tap.

Though often for those breweries, I’d take a can over an alternative draught
