Do you enable Two Factor Authentication for your members account?

Considering I'm mostly active on just three different forums, Admin Junkies is the only one I use two-factor authentication on. I feel since I'm a staff member it's justified that I use two-factor authentication to better protect my account. Jcink, as mentioned above, doesn't have two-factor authentication available, but one thing it at least has available is a security question you can plug into your Admin CP.
I should use it on my admin accounts, but I just use a very strong password. I don't think I'm going to get hacked, though.

If you don't use the password on multitudes of sites and it is indeed strong, you're probably well enough off.
It would take a really horrible person to hack a site, but they're out there. Well, you got to admire the complexity to hack a well protected site. That's not condoning it, though.

That's one reason I use 1password.

Different password for every single site, 2fa enabled on all that support it.

It's very difficult to attempt access. I use 16 char or more passwords on all sites unless they have a weird max of like 12.

Twitch has a 70 char password. That's right. 70. Lol

2FA is nice... passkeys are better. I really wish XenForo would enable passkeys (like YubiKey) in natively so that you did not have to depend on a third party developer.
I scored several YubiKeys via CloudFlare at a VERY good price recently for domains that were handled by them. I've got 8, 2 in use and the other 6 (a combo of USB-C and regular USB) sitting in a container.
I also like the fact that the YubiKey app can also use standard 2FA codes, but the app is secured by your YubiKeys.

I can't afford one atm, and won't be able to for a long time (finding jobs in this town is near impossible). If I did, I'd want one with USB-C and regular USB (so it works on all my devices, I don't use Apple at all), and fingerprint preferably.
