Haven’t logging to Deviant in a long time. Google warned me about a compromised password. I got to the security section to change it and find that I have to PAY to get 2FA.

    Not exactly crappy design, more asshole design since they’re making the process shitty on purpose. Do we have a /c/AssholeDesign?

    The crappy design here is that this is called Core. Core implies it’s a central or fundamental feature. I wouldn’t consider that as part of a paid upgrade path.

    i have an email account that i’m not receiving valid 2fa emails which are sent to me. to add the sender email address(es) to a white list in order to bypass server-side mail filters (which are blocking these emails from reaching my inbox), i have to pay and subscribe to unlock the feature.

    at the one service i care about, to change its email to a different email address, i have to be able to receive those 2fa emails and validate a code to authorize the change.

    Just add the 2FA token to you password manager. I know keepassxc can do it, i assume others can too. 2FA is just not necessary for things like this.
