Here's how to install a security key for your Gmail. Get two keys, put the second one someplace safe or give to a friend/partner and have that be the backup. (They can't log on *just* with the security key: still need the password. It's just a backup). https://techsolidarity.org/resources/security_key_gmail.htm …

We're fine using keys/badges to enter our houses, offices... Email security is one thing that should be taken seriously. It's a tiny extra step! Bank/credit card fraud is probably easier to deal with (it could be reversed). If your email is hacked, info can be siphoned quickly.

A security key is a great stocking stuffer.

Sooo... If regular person: use an iPhone or an iPad and secure *that* device. Apple's are secure devices, as these things go. Use TouchID/strong password. Use the Gmail app, for example (can't be phished). Don't need a security key there. https://twitter.com/Kgar_Horrible/status/1073581404414468096 …

Otoh, if you're a really high-level target—investigating a hostile head of state or high-level official or powerful entities— Google has an advanced protection system with security keys for mobile devices. I don't yet recommend this for ordinary people. https://landing.google.com/advancedprotection/ …

Google still doesn't allow a FIDO U2F key from Firefox, claiming wrongly that Firefox doesn't support the hardware key. :/pic.twitter.com/lgJDaT46of

hmmm humm... Firefox now supports WebAuthn, right? I hope it does soon. I'll take a look.

"in an email".... (putting aside that should be "e-mail"...)

Depends on the decade you’re in. When AP Style updated from “e-mail” to “email” in 2011, stories were written about them “finally” doing so.

Thoughts on
@symantec VIP Access or 2FA from@1Password ? -
Storing your one-time password in 1Passwrod is rather different from using a hardware key, but it certainly can be more convenient and is far and away better than not 2FA at all. My Chief Defender Against the Dark Arts discussed this here: https://blog.1password.com/totp-for-1password-users/ …
