    Gotcha. If you happen to use Firefox, I published the extension to the FF store yesterday too [1]. I will definitely take a look at your PRs. I see that you linked them below. I pl…

    It does look like inbox.google.com is missing from our data set. We have an open issue to make sure that all of the Google products are added [1]. The messaging that is currently s…

    Thanks for the positive feedback! There are 2 main articles in the 2FA series left to write (Push 2FA and U2F/WebAuthN), but there are a ton of other posts I have bouncing around i…

    I am not a core committer for twofactorauth.org (yet! I hope to become one!), so I cannot say whether they will accept a PR like that. However, there is an open issue discussing th…

    That is frustrating. I have been contributing to the twofactorauth.org project, but I am still new to the community there. It is a really great resource of information with over 1,…

    Hey everyone! I created 2FA Notifier with my friend, Ray. We noticed that many people enable 2FA after they realize the services they already use support it! So, we made 2FA Notifi…
