However, I decided instead to buy two Yubikey (primary and backup), and I add the QRs to both of them with the Yubico App. I also screenshot my QRs, tar them, encrypt them with openssl and gpg, and upload them to two cloud locations also protected by MFA, and remove them from my computer. I repeat that when I add a new QR. I also have a txt together with the encrypted tars documenting the commands used to encrypt/decrypt so I remember the parameters to use. The reason I do that is to be able to load them into a new Yubikey in case I lose one.
There are alternative to Yubikeys if they are too expensive for some. I do find them a good investment in general, though. I found having Yubikeys (at least two), or other similar devices cheaper than phones, to be the most practical way to do MFA. You can even use those same Yubikeys to unlock hard drives (luks), and go passwordless for some applications.

Sure, there are other ways like FIDO2, but these are not necessarily used (or liked, quite frankly I know a lot of people who would loose them on a monthly basis, but still are quite smart about other stuff).Given that FIDO2 credentials can be stored on your mobile device (and exchanged with other devices), if those people are losing their mobile devices every month they likely have other issues (including a very expensive mobile device replacement budget) for which there is likely no viable solution. FAS' use of TOTP 2FA is not a great solution compared to FIDO2, and there are well known attacks against TOTP 2FA, but even TOTP 2FA can reduce the doorknob rattling exploits. As TOTP 2FA generators exist for most mobile devices one will tend to have a TOTP 2FA generator with one most of the time. To the Fedora leadership: What is the best way to formally propose that 2FA is required for packagers after some date (I suppose we could have different dates for PPs vs others if we wanted to do that in order to get started sooner). Do we need a formal Change Proposal to be voted on by someone? It does not really seem like a FESCo issue to me, but more of a policy issue that might need to go to the Council? I have no doubt that such a proposal will be controversial with some, and all those issues should get a (re-)airing in front of those making the decision. -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
