2 Stage Authentication
03-21-2015, 02:19 AM
Is a real pain to set up. But really necessary in this day and age. I had one of my email addresses set up as a recovery site so I had it set up for 2 stage authentication. Also did the same thing for the apps on my phone. And started changing a lot of passwords. But better to start on theory I'm already compromised and fix it now, rather than locking the barn after the horse is stolen.

Okay..now I'm convinced there has to be balance between convenience and security somewhere.

Only you can decide where that balance is for your data.

2nd backup is a bunch of 1 times codes you print out and keep somewhere safe for that contingency.
