Endless captchas, randomly asking to login again, holding payments, asking for more and more user data, now demands ID card picture and social security number for selling, dropping PayPal... After 10 years without problems, getting really tired the past 6 months
I would really like to find a good alternative Endless captchas, randomly asking to login again, holding payments, asking for more and more user data, now demands ID card picture and social security number for selling, dropping PayPal... After 10 years without problems, getting really tired the past 6 months
My wife got kicked out of PayPal for no good reason 15 years ago. I think she could have reinstated it if she sent a fax but she wasn't about to send a fax. If you want to know why people aren't adopting 2FA, it's because we know it's just a matter of time until the hole that attaches your Yubikey to your keyring wears away, your Yubikey disappears, and with customer service that amounts to "talk to the hand" at many…
Because of this, I make a point of having 3 2fa keys. A daily driver, a backup key on a key ring and the final one in a fireproof safe. Like you I would be afraid what would happen if I lacked my key. Companies need to at least clarify “what happens if I don’t have my key” also one time codes are a thing that need to be saved and can help mitigate a hardware failure.
I’d had it since 1998.
I had my brand new account banned today as well. How does one sell an iPhone on Ebay without being suspicious?
Mercari is also a good platform to sell on.

With a new account, you don't. Most buyers would run away from new accounts selling iPhones. Maybe eBay has institutionalized that running away.

Amazing that in 2021 there are few better alternatives than have 3 x 2FA keys.
The point of 2FA is "something you have"... if you lose it, you no longer have it. It's designed to lock you out if lost/stolen... otherwise, what would be the point?
As an aside, 2FA keys are not what most people use... they use cell phone numbers, time-based rolling-code authentication apps, email addresses, etc. It's your choice to use a physical key, even if it might technically be the most secure of the options.
Security is always a trade off with convenience.
GP seems to not understand the point of 2FA. If you can simply call up customer support and maneuver you way back into a locked account, then so can the "bad guys". Any information they have about you can be found by a determined attacker... hence, the "something you have" approach.
