And yet I have some banking/credit apps or sites that don't have or offer 2FA but my Yahoo account has 2FA.





    Why don't you use a password manager?
    I dunno. Too much work to set it up.

    I absolutely use 2FA. I don't see how it's too much work... you put in your cell number and it's done. You login, get a text with an extra 4 digits to enter and you're secure.

    I feel way better with it. Banking and sites, sites with saved credit card info, and even my Steam account that over the last 20 years has hundreds of dollars worth of games? For sure I want that added security.
