just a quick clarification bc I've seen some confusion about 2FA on my TL lately

(this is not directed at anyone in particular)

2FA isn't complicated nowadays.

The most common method involves downloading an app on your phone, pointing it at a QR code (to add the account you wanna enable 2FA for to the app) and opening the app to receive a time-based 6(-ish) digit code you have to enter after entering your password.

@tom hell, I went the extra credit route and do 2fa with an app and one of those yubikey thingies and that was hella easy to set up

@troubleMoney yeah I have one too, it's super neat for the few services that support it.

@tom I've been meaning to set it up for ssh authentication as well, really neat bits of kit
