recently google ,microsoft and others have started pushing two step verifications
and having an obsession with security.

as if it was a big threat to them.
as a non-phone owner.
I
never asked for this level of security. I
never asked for more verifications
its like a door to door salesman selling padlocks but he has the master key.
when your front door already has a lock & door-key.
salesman is saying you need a padlock too.
what ever happened to using your personal profile as verification.
URL- known location & known activitys. this has worked for yrs no problem at all until mid 2020
then the paranoia started from them.
the two step verification USB thumb drive 2FA security key so its it a scame
another bit of hardware to buy, another online financial parasite?
just as a phone can also be a financial parasite.
what if this 2FA thing locks me out of my own hardware?
or if it locks me out of my own online accidents?
security is a two way street. it can lock you out of your own abode if it fails to work.
my point is the obsession with security is not coming from us users, but google , microsoft & apple Inc
who are the paranoid users, that say we want this.
