Enable two-factor everywhere

#security
#2fa

I recently wrote a blog entry about two-factor authentication (2FA) and how it has become so simple that no one really has an excuse not to do it. SO DO IT.

The main protocol these days is OATH (not to be mistaken with OAuth) which can use HMAC-based One-Time Passwords (HOTP) or Time based One Time Passwords (TOTP)
This is a lists of sites I know about that support an HOTP Authenticator App (Duo Security or Googles)

Google Services (Basically everything)
LastPass
GitHub
Evernote
DropBox
Facebook
Microsoft Services (Outlook.com, Skydrive and some others)
HootSuite
Amazon Web Services
Word Press

Its not hard and it keeps your stuff safer then a password, so no excuses, enable it.

Did you know?

Most application security programs still stop at the repository. The page a visitor loads can run third-party scripts that read the DOM, change a checkout, or steal a session after the deploy already looks clean.
