  • “Then there’s all the shit websites/apps that I don’t give a fuck about that now insist on having 2FA set up. They’re not interested in the security, it’s just to get your email and phone number to onsell your data to whoever.”

    Of everything you wrote, this one had my eyes wide. Hadn’t even crossed my mind that could be a problem. 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Hmm. Maybe I’m misunderstanding something fundamental about cyber security, but wouldn’t a server leak give you login credentials regardless of the uniqueness or amount of use a password has? And 2FA would still protect against that?

    I might have thrown my hat into a ring I have no place in lmao













  • You’re cooked. Same thing happened to me. I tried for a few days to see if there was any way around it, but I wasn’t about to get a VPN just to use Reddit. Or get a whole new device.

    Pretty sure they have all the IPs that your account has ever connected to, so anything attempting to login from those IPs will also be banned. So that’s what you’ll have to work around, if you want to do it.

    I’m no expert though, that’s just what I learned over my couple of days of trying.

    +Looks like there’s no need for scouring the internet for an alternative, you’ve already found it.
