Oh, if the past decade or so has taught me anything:
Yes, there truly are people stupid enough to believe that, and they are in much greater numbers than you hope

Still annoyed that tile has not committed to making their devices compatible with this and rather want to push that life360 rubbish, which openly sells user data.
People only really went with their product because something first party didn’t exist, now their service will get worse as people start adopting this over their service and they turn all their trackers into e-waste—because trackers without a good enough network are kind of useless
Wow, this is written by one truly oblivious journalist
And royally fucking the country up unabashedly
We have a mostly right wing press over here and the leftmost publication is the guardian which generally has a liberal-centrist bias. It’s taken the Tories getting to insanely ridiculous levels of incompetence for the general public to finally cotton on
It’s politico, they have a centre-right slant, so of course they think the left should move in their direction
Oh, in that case it’s not quite equivalent, because my cloud storage is protected by the two factor code stored in my Authy OTP database.
I would still need to access the OTP database before I could access the cloud storage, which is where it would be stored in this scenario.
That’s potentially a solution then, as I guess in order to buy a new phone I would need to have not lost my wallet too at least, so I guess I could keep those items together for equivalent recovery possibility
Okay that may be a goer, I’ll look a bit more into it, thanks!
I agree it’s much worse than using a modern OTP app, but I need a way to access my OTP database when the only form of digital identity I have access to is my phone number.
Authy currently supports this scenario for me (with a load of checks, it doesn’t happen instantly), so I would require a like for like replacement

Interesting, I’ve seen this one before but it didn’t seem like it would support my deal-breaker scenario—I still can’t seem to see support for that on the readme, could you point me at some docs?
I’ve looked into this before and unfortunately it doesn’t support the SMS requirement I have in my deal-breaker scenario—do you know if this has changed and can point me to the docs regarding it?
This is a new one to me, but a quick look at their homepage doesn’t seem to suggest SMS support as per my deal-breaker scenario—could you point me to the docs describing that functionality?

Does anyone have a suggested alternative for authy? (Please read the whole post before responding)
I’d love to go with an open source solution as I’ve done with my password manager, but that doesn’t seem possible with one of my big requirements:
Scenario: I’ve had my phone robbed abroad and managed to buy a new one and loaded my ESIM back into it—I need to recover access to my 2 factor database via SMS so I’m able to log into my cloud storage and access my password database.
At this point I’d probably be happy to host a service myself on something like AWS and use SNS for this requirement, but I’m not sure anything like that exists ready to go. I’m not particularly interested in rolling something myself for this.
I’d be dubious of jumping from one closed source product to another, but if there’s a particularly good option I’m all ears, I’ve been otherwise happy with authy for about a decade now, but this plus the retirement of the desktop app have me looking elsewhere.
Edit: added emphasis
Isn’t gaetz one of the ones you wouldn’t want near your kids?
Well I wasn’t expecting to get called out quite like this today
No that’s fair to say, there was a bit of nuance in me saying “looking a bit like a failed state” and not explicitly saying “is a failed state”—I’m more saying they’re long down the road, not necessarily there yet
Edit: replied in the wrong place
I agree with a lot of what you’re saying, but I’m also in Europe and stand by my original words, they were from my perspective
Bit past that now. From the outside, the US is looking a bit like a failed state now.
Those attorneys must be laughing to the bank.
A frozen 2024 corpse is still a corpse and very unlikely to ever be otherwise. If it’s not entirely dead before going into the freezer it definitely will be after.
