I love when sites have 1.5factor authentication.

You put in your username, and it's like "hey, log in with a code to your phone, or a password!" and my password manager already filled the password, so I just hit continue.

and then it asks me to verify a code it sent to my phone anyway for 2fa

@foone Extremely frustrating when your phone dies while you are traveling, and you are trying to find and pay parts / repair services.

Yes, I do have backup codes, at home.

@foone On a Mac, if you log in to your Apple ID in Safari, it'll send a code for 2FA.

To the Mac you are trying to log in on.

@foone I forget where I picked this up but I heard it called "wish it was 2-factor" and that's what I've used for SMS Auth since.

@foone 1 factor with extra steps.

@foone My favorite is when they say that to verify my identity they need to send a code to my phone and then they ask what phone number to send the code to

@foone "yeah you should enter your Pin but mostly this is a 'marco polo' situation"

so your options are login with phone, or login with password, but verify with phone

@foone it's so nice they've figured out a device that is impossible to compromise.

Extra good is when you tell them what number to send it to right before they send it

@foone sounds like "optional 2FA", when you feel less secure

@foone I especially like when the website wants your login, then your password, then sends a code to your phone, then says we also need to send you an email.
