    Do I really need TFA for social media? Or a forum? News sites? Fucking weather? Financial logins I get, but every single site requiring it is a cumulative time and hassle burden that is not worth it.

      I would say anytime where someone can impersonate you or make purchases as you deserves MFA. That’s my risk tolerance, but it can differ obviously. I just feel that threshold is too low for a lot of people.

      …for social media?

      Where someone can impersonal you and scam people out of money? Yes. 2FA.

      …Fucking weather?

      I mean, I’m not here to kink shame but, probably? I’m partially wondering now what weather looks like when it fucks. Like a tornado in a sinkhole?

      …every single site requiring it is a cumulative time and hassle burden that is not worth it.

      It wouldn’t be necessary IF:

      1. People chose decent passwords that were different for every login
      2. Website security was taken seriously by anyone who has a login.
