    Definitely opens up a big question about the security of Lemmy instances that I am sure will be discussed over the next few days.

    They added 2FA login to lemmy in one of the newer updates. Probably pretty pertinent for any admins to use it…

      It’s buggy and missing some key checks to make sure it’s working when you set it up.

      Real risk of locking yourself out of your account.

          Mostly a risk on initial setup.

          I’ve been waiting a bit for it to stabilize and just using huge random passwords

            If you’re using a password manager you’d be doing this for every site and without even having to think about it. Bitwarden is a great choice.

              I like KeePass. Bitwarden currently has an nginx exposure in the Dockerfile published in their git repo (may have been fixed since a couple of days ago). That said, I used Bitwarden for many years and switched out of an abundance of paranoia, and am definitively not recommending against it. Just basically use one of the following:

              • Bitwarden
              • KeePass
              • 1password

              And stay far the fuck away from LastPass

                my uni is currently still recommending lastpass as of now, tho I’ve heard they might be looking for alternatives …

                I don’t know that 1password should be on that list. The first two are free and open source. The last one is paid and proprietary.

                Don’t put your credentials in the hand of a company that requires you to trust them to not fuck up. Everyone thought LastPass was great until they weren’t

              Oh I do. Used Bitwarden for many years.

              I actually use keepass for totp codes too.
