Begging Steam to stop with their shitass mobile app 2FA and just let me use TOTP + Passkey
@privateger I just refuse to do #2FA unless a platform supports #PGP-based 2FA!
@kkarhan that is like

one platform
total
@kkarhan also why would you refuse the most basic security measure lol
TOTP is a perfectly open standard

@privateger because #TOTP & #HOTP require to have more or less precise time.

#PGP is king!

@kkarhan @privateger I thought HOTP is time independent? /gq

@izzie @privateger really?

Okay then I mixed that up...

@kkarhan @privateger AfaIk, HTOP is basically a counter over hashes? It’s time independent but you can’t have a shared HOTP seed since you’d skew the counter and get desynchronised.
@kkarhan @privateger basically you can’t share a HOTP over multiple devices without synchronising the counter which would be online again and thus defeating the purpose.
@izzie @privateger precisely that is the problem!
@kkarhan @privateger it works fine if you’re okay with having your HOTP in a single place or otherwise keeping track of the counter across multiple sessions.
@izzie @privateger which isn't an option for me tho.
@kkarhan @privateger of course (although that is completely besides the point of the general statement above)
@kkarhan @privateger Also admittedly, HTOP is rarely implemented nowadays. And besides kioubit (a dn42 AS) I don’t know any other services that let you use pgp for mfa
@kkarhan @privateger for the standard “what is 2fa and can I eat it?” user, TOTP is the best option because most people have their TOTP on a phone that has a very precise track of time at most times.
