My Google account is far more secure than my AWS account, but it can actually remember device-based 2FA for a month. Yes, how onerous, Google accounts are LITERALLY like a crashing car.

And as someone who works at home, I work whenever the hell I want, get off my back and go troll elsewhere.

>it can actually remember device-based 2FA for a month

Call me crazy, but that seems like a totally different feature than what AWS two-factor auth is doing. AWS uses 2FA to validate users, while Google uses it to validate devices, and you're making it seem like Amazon is too dumb to use local storage for something.

(Also, I don't think the parent commenter was comparing Google to a car crash. The analogy was that it seems weird to get mad about features performing their stated actions.)

Far more secure how?

2FA that is long lived and only protects the device does not sound as secure for something this critical.

Wow. My apologies, I didn't realise your personal self-worth was so wrapped up in your google account. I wasn't even referencing google with the car thing, but the AWS mechanism doing what it's been activated to do.

If you're that sensitive about lighthearted hyperbole, then perhaps you shouldn't use it in the first place.

I work 12 hours apart in one day all the time. I work an average of 16 hours a week, from home. Stick to the actual discussion rather than trying to invent nonsense reasons to dismiss people's opinions.

Please comment civilly and substantively here or not at all.

> My apologies. I didn't realise that you found it so difficult to take out your phone. I find it comes quite naturally to me - I was unaware that there were professional developers out there that struggled with it.
