THIS 2-Factor-Authentication method is NOT secure!!

Video Description

If a hacker gets access to your email, bank, or crypto account, they can turn your life upside down. How secure are YOUR accounts? One thing that can help you secure them is to use 2fa (2-factor-authentication) where you have to use multiple methods to sign into an account, rather than just a single password on a website. 2FA makes your account MUCH more secure. But not all 2FA methods are create equal. For example SIM swaps allow hackers to intercept certain 2FA methods, so if your account is tied to a phone number then you're more vulnerable to being hacked. We dive into various 2FA methods, including SMS verification, TOTP apps (authenticator apps), and security keys (like YubiKey), explain which is the most secure, and also talk about the tradeoffs of each. 00:00 Intro 01:58 SIM-based 2FA 05:28 Authenticator Apps / TOTP 09:52 Security Keys For more info about 2FA, check out this awesome article from Paul Stamatiou: https://paulstamatiou.com/getting-started-with-security-keys/ *Edit: you can now export your google authenticator seed to another device.
