European Union and data protection: what is your favourite regulation, what was a missed opportunity, and what is Europe doing wrong right now?

That's my point: 2fa is usually promoted as the standard for authentication, but you are here suggesting that I should actually enable a third factor, which involves storing a set of codes or an hardware device somewhere which is not the same place where I keep my phone etc etc. I find it rather complicate, and I doubt that many people actually do this.

So are many people risking to be locked out of their data?

What would you do if you were in a foreign country and somebody stole your bag with passport and mobile phone, and you wanted to access - from the embassy computer - some vital document (like, a photo of your passport) stored in your Dropbox account, where you have 2FA enabled?

In other words, isn't 2FA potentially dangerous in some not-so-improbable situations?

1. Is he symbol "ଙ" in your twitter name some kind of protest against twitter's VIP verification?

2. Do you still hunt for security breaches as a hobby? I'm assuming this is not part of your job as a CRO and public speaker, but correct me if I'm wrong Edit: I'm stupid, it's right in the title of the AMA!

3. Do you know Edward Snowden personally?
