Hi josh love the channel , just a quick question when setting up two yubikeys (one back up) do u have to set up both keys at same time ? Thanks buddy

I just found your channel when I I got an ad for a parental spying app that allows you to listen in, and you’re literally the only person saying that the spy apps are a security risk

Thx, great vid! If Im synced, where/how do I find my backup for my new phone as the old one is lost?

Hey! I have a question and id like to know your opinion: So, firstly, i want a free vpn (windows and android) with really good security + good speeds. I have encountered a lot of them such as atlas vpn, hotspot shield, privado vpn, proton vpn, tunnel bear and windscribe. I used all of them except hide me (the one i liked more was proton and the worst hotspot shield cuz of ads on android and not trustable no logs policy). Out of these options which one is the best option for privacy? Thanks!

There are out there better 2FA Authenticator apps that rely also on backup, so you are safe (as long as you remember your login account) if you lose your phone or it get stolen. And also they don't "spy" on you linking data from the account you set up. For example, Raivo for iOS devices or FreeOTP+ for Android.

Always valuable, balanced evaluation & answers! Thanks Josh

Hi, thanks for the video. My question is, where you will find this backup on your e-mail?? or how would you recover the account in google authenticator?

authenticator has stopped refreshing codes for me since the update. the wheel goes round and round and the codes stay the same and don't work when entered. Discovered this while trying to add a new account. doesn't seem like there is a solution either. There is some advice on the help forums, but it didn't help the person who tried it. loving this new version. not.

Question: my old phone has old Google authenticator app. Can I safely update that old app and codes are safe then simply export/transfer to my new phone that only has new Google app version? Old version has that gray looking clock face but new one has the colorful looking lines like a star. I have both phones but older app doesn't have a backup option or transfer option and I'm scared to update the app lol

My hosting account wants me to turn on 2Fa for my website end-users. They give me a choice between Authy, GA, or Nordpass. Since I back up my phone locally, I'm wondering if using GA as a 2Fa "service" for my website visitors would helping in Google SEO vs the other 2(Fa) options?

Given Google's business model (*YOU* are the product) my question about any Google product or service is always "How does it benefit Google?". With Google Authenticator for example, I would ask - does Google know/record when and how you use it? E.g. if I sign on to a website using 2FA and use Google Authenticar to generate the key, does Google know that on a given date/time, I generated a 2FA key (even if they don't know the value of trhe key) for this particular company? Because I don't know the answer, I don't use Google Authenticator, but I wouldn't stop anyone else using it if that's their preference.
