[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 1034674, member: 55987"] As long as you take proper steps to do proper backup, I believe the inconvenience is minimized Assume the following scenarios 1) Loss/theft/defective phone If you have 2 phones you can simulate the above. Assume you set up 2FA with a physical security key for MWT forums. Now, assume this phone is not in use i.e. lost. So, you take your physical security key, go to the 2nd phone, open up MWT forums and access it with the physical security key. It'll work. 2) Defective/loss of physical security key In this case, it's highly recommended by the security key manufacturer that you should have a 2nd security key as back up if the above should happen. If you lose the 1st security key you can replace with another security key as a back-up, now, for the 2nd security key.....and so on. There you see your problems are solved. [/QUOTE]
