nice vid. but still dont get, how these FOSS 2FA work in principle. when for example using google 2FA and i want to login into google, then google sends me a sms code, which they can confirm once i login with this data. how can a -3rd party- app like the FOSS ones give me a 2FA code, which google recognizes, if the code does not come from their app/side? thx

Your information is appreciated and valuable but I need to (see you using & setting up the app) - andOTP. I have no clue and completely no understanding of how this is supposed to work. I learn and understand better visually as opposed to reading or hearing. AND how will I be affected if lose cell ph after andOTP is set up? PLEASE make video.

It matters which 2fa app you choose. Authy is not a good choice, it's closed source, it requires a phone number, there is no way to export 2fa codes for backup to usb memory stick, etc so if authy stops working over day you loose access to all your accounts.

Excellent video! I had SMS and thought it was the same as an app like authy etc. . I just got messages to my phone and typed in the two code numbers and got access to my account. No QR code since I was on my laptop typing the numbers in to the sms box.

Hands down one the most informative security video series on the internet, that is also easy to understand.
Love the changing backgrounds to indicate how hardcore the methods are!
Keep it up, your content is unique! ;D

I was gonna say that those social engineering hacks could be used to get a TOTP code. but then I remembered the code expires every 30 seconds. So the hacker wouldn't get it SMSd in time from the victim.

Hello. What is your opinion about app based 2FA like Google Authenticator vs Prompt style 2FA. Wondering if any of them is different enough in security level or they're pretty much the same. Thank you.

The only problem with code generator apps is that if you have to reset your phone or you get a new phone, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the 2FA setup on the new/reset phone.

yubikey also offers a 2FA app: Yubico Authenticator. This requires the yubikey to have the 2FA accounts loaded onto the usb key, and a password to unlock the key to access the keys.

always make sure you have at least 2 devices/2 ways as second factor. so many dumb people eg have 1 single iphone and then lose it and lock themselves out of their account for a month.
