Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

On the other hand, NOT using MFA on an online password manager is just poor opsec.
I understand that perspective, but honesly, for me, the threat of misplacing 2fa is higher than getting hacked.
Sorry dude, if keeping your 2fa codes safe is too much to ask then you really shouldn't be on the internet.
Using a password manager without 2fa is a recipe for disaster, you might as well just use the same password for all your accounts at that point, then you don't need the inconvenience of a password manager
So, how do you propose I safeguard the 2FA?
Hardware based ones can easily get damaged, or when there's a fire, completely destory it. I am not rich enough to have a second home. And I can't affor any "safe deposit boxes". I don't have any trusted friends to keep a backup 2FA key at.
Software based ones are same, if you print out the info. And if you store it online, you're gonna need to encrypt it. And that is gonna be another password.
So all that trouble and its still 1FA (two different passwords is still 1FA).
So, if you want to be helpful, how do I manage 2FA keys without getting myself locked out?
If your 2FA backup is encrypted, you can even store it in Google Drive or wherever, ask a family member to keep a copy, it doesn't matter if the password is strong.
If you're extra scared of losing your keys then you can use something like Authy as a last resort, they make it super easy.
I work in cyber forensics and incident response, 2FA and strong passwords can prevent 99% of the shit I see.
