Why I Hate Two-Factor Authentication
Ever get so annoyed that you drop everything and write a blog post or record a video when you should be working? No? Well, this is what I’m doing right now.
Why?
Because Two-Factor authentication sucks.
Let me explain:
I’m doing some research for a certain digital product that I’m creating for the NetHustler.com audience… and I have to open Facebook Business Manager to check if something is possible or not.
Anyway, I open the new tab, go to Facebook, go to business manager… then BOOM:
Enter your 2FA (two factor auhtentication) code, sent to your mobile app.
It instantly kills your vibe and train of thought.
I open the phone, I see I have other notifications, I check those… I forgot all about what I was doing, I proceed the next 5 minutes to watch cat reels on Instagram.
Two-Factor Authentication Ruins Productivity
I know I should have better discipline, but we’re humans. We go to open the authentification app on our phone, we see an unread text from someone, we open it, we think of a reply, we watch some reels until they reply. And suddenly the work we should be doing turns into a 15 minute waste of binge watching stupid videos.
I hate 2FA with a passion, same as I hate chatbots. And I just had to take 5 minutes to make this note, in order to vent out a bit. At least this was more productive than watching another AI-made brainrot video.
End of rant.
