Reply to comment by Firecrackerbangbang in LPT - If you have trouble seeing while driving at night shining a keychain light at your steering wheel drastically improves your ability to see the road and oncoming traffic. by Firecrackerbangbang
I’ll give it a try next time I’m driving at night. I imagine my cell phone flashlight should be enough light?

Reply to LPT: If you got your pets gifts this Christmas they didn't end up liking, consider donating them to your local animal shelter. by UnforgivingPoptart
My cat didn’t like his new climbing tree so I immediately dropped him off at the shelter.
Thanks for the tip!

When you hit somewhere in your 40s sleep is no longer necessary. It's crazy.

Naah I wasn't phised, I downloaded Adobe Reader crack and then nearly every account of mine was compromised. There's no way they went and reset every account, they must have simply extracted it from browser.
Now I'm using authy tho.

>Having email confirmation is basically worthless if your email was compromised.
That doesn't mean it's not 2FA.
My gripe is how the fuck did they get my steam password at all.
>If you're not using Steam Guard through the app, you don't have 2FA.
Two factor authentication simply mean 'two' means of authentication, first is password and the second is the code received on email.
Steam guard is an additional thing that necessitates you should be in possession of a particular phone. It's more than 2FA and more secure can said to be 3FA.
Every site on this world sends you code on mail/phone number when 2FA is activated.

Arnica lotion, or homeopathic tablets.

Having email confirmation is basically worthless if your email was compromised. SMS is only slightly better in that they have to hack 2 devices or do a SIM swap scam. If you're not using Steam Guard through the app, you don't have 2FA.

Both are different, steam still sends 2FA on mail, guard is only sent on phone.

I’ve considered donating our cats, but they outnumber me and glare at me menacingly when I bring up the subject. I figure maybe I should just drop it.

Download Authy, or one of the plethora of other mobile Authenticator apps. Unfortunately can’t stop you from getting your creds phished by a fake page.
For that you need something like a FIDO2 key that supports key domain binding

Unfortunately it's necessary when you change phones. You have to turn off Steam Guard, deauthorize your old phone, log in on your new phone, and reactivate Steam Guard.
Though there are people that just leave it off and that's frankly their own damn fault.

> Steam guard is too much of a PITA
Ah ha! So you don't have 2FA enabled if you disabled Steam Guard.

And also using the same password for everything is dumb.
If one of your accounts get compromised, most likely your other accounts will get compromised.

I think if you tie a string around it, the finger should fall off in a couple of days.

It's been like this for me in my 30s. I find I've needed less sleep as I've gotten older.
