At a restaurant and want to scan the QR code to order food? Nah. It's not where the QR code sends you to, it's more so what it collects... Did you read the post and discussion? No one is talking about scanning random QR codes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have made like 2-3 wrong statements here about how 2FA and authenticator apps work but OK. I guess when argument fails yell paranoia! I do to but it's not really necessary as I use a secondary handle and email on Neowin but you know 2FA authenticator apps are so damn easy to use so why not. No not with an authenticator app as it just reads the QR code and splits out a verification code to complete the process. It can't send the user "to who knows where" so that is just wrong. Now SMS is a security nightmare. I was referring to them in general, not specifically toward auth apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
