security is annoying. You also have to carry around keys for your home, work, car, locker etc… Personally I think that is much more annoying.
can’t believe they sold people that it’s BETTER to have to get your phone out to login
Security wise it is better. Have you not seen a heist movie? There is always multiple layers of security. Two factor is another layer of your security.
incredibly annoying
Some passwords managers have 2FA built in. Just use that if your so annoyed. Less secure but still better than having no 2FA.
If you’re using this willfully you’re clearly just as worried about security as before anyway
I would be way more worried about an account without 2FA. Done right it is a huge security improvement.
Companies love having real phone numbers to pair with ‘their’ data
Good thing a proper 2FA system doesn’t require a phone number. In fact using a phone number is less secure. So avoid giving out your number and use another option if possible.
If you really want a true dumb TV, you should look into the commercial TVs
Personally I just get any TV and don’t connect it to the internet. I disable any popup interfaces/home menus as much as I can on the TV so I just turn it on and it goes to HDMI1 and that is all the TV’s interface needs to do.
I also disable alot of the picture altering features as well. My LG TV has some true motion crap that just made everything a little bit off.
For the most part the handful of TVs I have tried just work.
