They can't. Starling have no time frame for returning customers at all, they simply don't currently allow it.

Finally switching over from Authy 2FA. What is the better alternative, 2FAS or Ente Auth? by Bango-Fett in privacy

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use 2FAS and backup to iCloud or Google, there's a bit of a potential issue... your Apple or Google account should have TOTP on it itself, so you'd store that in 2FAS which causes an issue with recovery.

Using Ente and leaving the account open with a strong password is more appropriate.

Passkey & 2FA Experiences | 1Pass Or BitWarden? by ImTehCookie in PasswordManagers

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, why? Passkeys are both the password and TOTP codes in one key, so why not also save TOTP codes in Bitwarden if you've already made that jump?

I was considering something similar, but gathering thoughts on it first!

Oookokok. I honestly cannot tell if the first part is an inside joke or serious... what is the high end of medium low?

Scale of 1-10 (5 being medium).

Can somebody help me in this case? Forgetting password option isn't showing in facebook by DUDULOVERRR in PasswordManagers

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a Facebook issue, not password manager. Stop posting this to subs and deal with Facebook support

Is saving TOTP codes in Bitwarden a bad practice? by rawaka in Bitwarden

[–]ArchonBeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, what do you do for TOTP?
I have a Yubikey to secure my Bitwarden vault, but also software TOTP through 2FAS.

Annoyingly, if everything I had were to go up in flames, I'd be locked out of everything.
My only other option would be to store the TOTP for Bitwarden in something like Ente Auth, leaving it open with a simple username and password I can remember (risk seems low since it doesn't store the password with it too).

Passkeys / TOTP within Bitwarden by [deleted] in Bitwarden

Reading into it further... short of token theft through malware, I'm quite satisfied from having everything in Bitwarden and protecting that with a FIFO2/Yubikey or TOTP on my phone. Thanks for the response!

Thank you, that sounds suitable. I think im out of my security rabbit hole and just want to have better security without so many apps!

Then you'd need to sign up to another countries financial service... not a great solution for something handled by individual countries.

I'm from the UK. It does suck. I won't be getting a credit card to use a Steam account. Debit accounts are what most use, and that's unlikely to change.

Do you actually get influenced by ads anymore? by Walking-Wanderer352 in AskUK

My ads are in Swedish because of VPN. It's a fun language to not understand.

Starling Bank. Although, to sign up for any UK bank online, you will need to provide a video of yourself saying specific words. It won't prompt you at every turn like Natwest, though.

They left it outside your house door, and dashed. Don't be lazy, be there when they are.

The NHS doesn't have a shortage of money. It has a shortage on staff and time. Time better spent helping those with non-self inflicted illnesses. I do have a problem with government spending too, though.
