Buy an unlocked one from box box stores. Bought mine from best buy. Immediately threw GrapheneOS on it. Coming from a locked down Samsung s9 that I couldn’t root to an degoogled android experience I didn’t even have to root is fucking awesome!

We also know that these back doors are entry points for other bad often state actors. There is no reasonable use for them to exist!

I rebuild my OS sometimes three times a year.

So I need a 2FA application? Just seems a little ridiculous as that is what I use email for. So my bw pass is well over 25 chars and I need to have another app that requires an equally strong pass. Just seems a little overkill! Especially changing passwords every year.

My email pass is over 25 more or less random characters that I change about once a year. That’s why I use bitwarden!

My problem with this is my email accounts are locked behind bitwarden. Can’t login to email without bitwarden. If both my devices get stolen at the same time I’m fucked. I’m not going to pay for premium to enable a emergency contact.

Downloaded bitwardens authenticatior app. Now firefox on my computer is asking for me to press on a security key which I assume is some sort of biometrics my computer doesn’t have.

I love 2FA I just don’t see how it is supposed to work if you need bitwarden to open your email to get your 2FA code.

Let’s say your backpacking through south america and both your devices get robbed. Your ticket home is in your email. What’s the solution here? You can’t go to a coffee shop and login to your email because its securely locked behind bitwarden. You can’t login to bitwarden because you can’t access your 2FA from your email.

What am I missing?
