Those scary warnings of juice jacking in airports and hotels? They’re nonsense

This times a thousand. It’s still the low hanging fruit getting the average citizen and if we had proper controls we could mitigate a lot of the damage people feel from database leaks and account compromises.

Many 2FA implementations are user-hostile. I wouldn't blame the users.

IDK about Android, but iPhones are now randomly generating passwords and storing them in Keychain, which has its own user-friendly 2FA. Solves the password-sharing problem. There's also authentication via Apple. Yeah it's first-party proprietary stuff; there are third-party solutions too, but they're harder for regular people to deal with.

Point being you don’t see the federal agency announcements typically talking about basic solutions like that: you see them warning about edge case attacks like juice jacking.

Yeah, for some reason govt agencies in particular always pick weird things to warn people about. Security advice from the government is also questionable since they spy too.
