@kdfrawg Might be wired, but Bonjour and VPNs aren't friendly.

I prefer non-SMS, too.

Wow. That's crazy.

Wonder why no-one uses push notifications…

I prefer non-SMS options. BYO TOTP works great for me. Also plays nice with international user base; some companies apparently support SMS 2FA only with North American numbers. ?

Any idea what makes interfacing with SMS and the telephone system seem easier/moreworthwhile to some services than implementing TOTP and letting you BYO generator?

Apparently, it will hurt worse before it hurts better. My Ibuprofen is powerless here, apparently. ? ❌

I had the impression two-factor by SMS was actually fairly doable to get access to, not by snagging phone, but by working wireless operator over.

Sometimes the second factor actually gets treated as an added one factor for password reset, too.

Annoyingly, I'm not really aware of any standard for communicating the auth implementation, and definitely not one that any service actually publishes. Just gotta step through password reset and such manually.

@lechindianer Complication from cold or flu that I'm getting over. Fluid got into the ear canal and then didn't get out, probably due to sinus swelling. Fluid started growing nasties after a bit.

Main sickness is probably viral and infectious; ear blockage is localized and not communicable.

Whoa, 1Blocker added element-hiding help via an extension. Reader mode is still the easier fix.
