2FA - useful or hindrance?

[leepsteer00]

It's definitely useful. In my case I use "Authy" instead of Google Authenticator, to get rid of troubles you'll get if you lose your phone by uploading your encrypted data to their server.

if you can not spare 3 seconds to type in 2FA key you need to re asses you time management skills.
it should be a priority!

It takes a lot more time than that if you don't have a smartphone.   And if it's a one-time thing every week or two, then it's not a big deal.  But if you have to do it multiple times each day, it gets really annoying.

We are still waiting for a better way to secure our services. Next step could be fingerprints or iris identification.

I use 2FA on everything that supports it.  You never know when your password is going to get taken, then it's the difference between nothing happening and losing all of your money.  It's well worth the extra 15 seconds.

I've had a lot of problems with 2 factor. ive lost my phone and or wiped and didnt save the code and then couldn't access accounts for awhile until submitting a support ticket.

I agree if I'm trying to protect hundreds of dollars.  But if I'm literally trying to protect $2, it's a huge waste of time.

Same thing happened to me once. I really though I had that code backed up, but nope... It was quite a lesson, you can never be sure enough you've backed everything up. I did regain my accesses though...
