Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)Dear Steam: Use fucking standard 2FA so I can put it into 1password. WTF. Seriously. W.T.F. You made $3b last year. I'm sure you can hire a programmer to do this. It's a solved problem.
deedasmi@grumpygamer legit question. Why would you want to put a 2fa code right next to your other auth factor? Doesn’t that still just make it single factor?
Melvin Gundlach@deedasmi @grumpygamer It’s still two factors: 1. Something you own (the device where your TOTP tokens are generated), 2. Something you know (your Steam password)
@melgu @grumpygamer Ah. I misunderstood. I don’t know my Steam password. Assumed that was also in password manager. I never put my 2fa in 1Password because, well, the passwords are there.
@deedasmi @grumpygamer I don’t use 1Password, but I can speak for how Apple handles the topic. There it’s:
1. Something you have (the device where the service password and TOTP secret or FIDO token are stored)
2. Something you know (the device password)
Alternatively 2. Something you are (biometric authentication)
1. Something you have (the device where the service password and TOTP secret or FIDO token are stored)
2. Something you know (the device password)

@deedasmi @grumpygamer So depending on how 1Password handles new devices, the factors could be the same (just with the master password instead of the device password).
