Gmail 2FA causes the homeless to permanently lose access 3 times a year
In one of the later posts, the OP writes that the homeless will lose any physical thing after N weeks. So what kind of 2FA would be homeless-proof? I don't see a solution.<p>Also, fully acknowledging Google and other bigtechs 2FA is far from ideal:<p>The other thing is, we want at the same time Gmail to be unhackable against best hackers and state sponsored adversaries for the billions of users, including high profile dissidents, journalists, and senators who will inevitably have accounts; and at the same time to homeless people who can't keep any physical thing. It's kinda difficult to meet those conflicting requirements well at the same time.<p>Maybe the solution should be to have some basic free state-paid email provider for those people. They are not forced to use Gmail specifically (albeit the number of non-sucking and free email providers is probably close to zero).
