    Re-writing a 6-digit code is easier than tapping a USB device?

      They’re talking about operationally. They don’t want to configure and distribute a bajillion dongles to users.

      Often times, yes. I don’t want to always have to have a USB key on me, but I always have access to MFA apps via my phone, watch, or laptop. I have no idea why you’re typing the code out instead of copying and pasting.

      Open an app, find the one number for your specific app among the bajillion you have, oh the timer is almost out and you forgot halfway through, tap back in the app, oh the fucking app scroll all the way to the top again.

        Open app via sidebar, search for website in search box, enter number once because I’m not super fucking slow at typing

      Pretty sure he’s talking about mfa that just asks for confirmation whether that’s you logging in on the phone. No typing required.
