    Two locks are better than one lock, right?๐Ÿ”’ And the same should apply for your online account credentials! That's why 2FA, like U2F, stops >99% of automated account attacks.

    Find out more on why you should use U2F ๐Ÿ‘‰

    A U2F security key is important to secure your authentication process. These U2F security keys protect your account from malicious take-over, including pishing attacks. This guide helps you to understand what a U2F security key is and why we at Tuta recommend using one. This helps you to never lose access to your online identity!

      @Tutanota its a shame a lot of websites still want to use SMS for their 2FA. I have an account with a big bank that won't allow me to use my preferred 2FA method, while another account I have with a small town bank will let me 2FA with whatever more secure method I want. Get with it people.

        @Tutanota : rubbish.

        Two WEAK locks may be LESS pointless than one WEAK lock, but they're still pointless. Go read https://www.csoonline.com/article/4147134.

        U2F has been superseded by FIDO2 (hardware keys in WebAuthn mode) and Passkeys (example in Dutch: https://todon.nl/@ErikvanStraten/116285192238090438).

        Both WebAuthn methods have advantages and disadvantages.

        If you don't like them, use a trustworthy passwordmanager and:

        โ€ข Let it create a unique, random, as long as possible, pw per account

        โ€ข Make backups of the pw mngr database

        โ€ข Device compromise means "game over"

        โ€ข Use Autofill (easy in Android and iOS/iPadOS)

        โ€ข If Autofill does not automatically retrieve your credentials, it probably is a fake (phishing) website. Do read https://www.troyhunt.com/a-sneaky-phish-just-grabbed-my-mailchimp-mailing-list/

        Please stop misinforming people.

            JFC, this should have been the first sentence in that blog.

              @Tutanota in France, for banks you have to have a password only with digits and I never saw a proper 2FA with an external app. They are still in the previous century

                  @blueluma @Tutanota Not true actually, you can download Authnkey from fdroid that provides the "UI" needed for hardware passkeys to work without google play services. https://github.com/mimi89999/Authnkey
                  Hopefully this helps!
