Can no-one help? There has to be something better than forever suffering under the tyranny of two-factor authentication for just bloody EVERYTHING

This is a pretty terrible take… if you take just a little bit of time to set up a password manager and use the browser plugin it is all just one password away. I actively seek out additional 2FA because it’s just simple and seamless, where my password manager will put the TOTP code on my clipboard ready to paste, or it’ll automatically pop up when the site asks for a passkey (like Google, referenced in the article).
Just sounds like this dude is whining about a problem that he doesn’t want to solve for himself.
Security and convenience will forever be on opposing sites of a spectrum. You can move alongside the spectrum but more of one thing will mean less of the other. That's just a fact.
I gotta disagree with you there, my online life is by far more convenient now that I have it all organized and stored in a password manager. So much less to remember and so many fewer roadblocks now that I don’t have to remember usernames and passwords.
Even my mom swears by how much more convenient it is to have a password manager and she’s not what you would call “tech savvy”
Ah yes a "throw money at it" solution
I use bitwarden
You have to pay for 2fa... try again
Having your Passwords and your 2FA in the same place is horrible security. There are many great and free solutions for 2FA, that will also auto fill without having to put all eggs in one basket.
The threat model is stolen/hacked/"forgotten" password. 2FA in the password manager is probably fine
Not if you run a vaultwarden server.
Verrry good to know
Lmfao you fucking donkeys
