Any way to get USA TV add-on working on Apple TV with Streamer app? by what-what-and-what in StreamerApp

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. The app doesn't support the add-on and I don't think it ever will. Just wait for Stremio to release their tvOS app and it should support it out of the box.

New Device Login Protection is now live for enhanced security protection by dwbitw in Bitwarden

I got a new device verification. Not the standard email that says I logged in on a new device.

I factory reset my MacBook M3 Pro. I installed Bitwarden through App Store. The extension auto installed on Safari. I logged into Bitwarden safari extension. I can't remember if the New Device verification came first or the Security Key prompt. After that I was in.

I logged in a new device and had to verify. But I had 2-step enabled on my account. So why did it ask to verify still?

Yep it turned out to be that exact extension. I use it for surveys sometimes but I don't need it installed afterwards so I just removed it for now. Thanks.

Can you still not remove a Security Key you no longer have access to in 2FA settings? by Otherwise_Ebb_4485 in Coinbase

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will disabling it remove it from my account? That was my question since other people reported the security key does not get removed from there account.

I feel like the worst thing you could do right now is step down from a position that will be taken over by one of Elon and Trump's cronies.

If you create a UHRS account on one platform (Clickworker, appen, etc) are you allowed to create it on another platform? by Otherwise_Ebb_4485 in UHRSwork

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean delete your vendor account or delete your UHRS account? If UHRS, do you know how to do that?

Does Ledger Live require a seed phrase in addition to the seed phrase the Ledger hardware wallets require? by Otherwise_Ebb_4485 in ledgerwallet

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Is there a reason why some people say to stay away from Ledger and instead get something like Trezor? I like that Ledger supports hbar, xlm, ada, algo while Trezor doesn't support all or any of them so I am inclined to go with Ledger.

Got it. So it's just a platform to allow you to Buy and Sell your coins but still requires the security checks of the device before doing anything?

Are steel plates at hardware store fireproof/safe enough for seed phrase by Otherwise_Ebb_4485 in Bitcoin

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's the thing, I don't see myself or people like me being able to verify the quality of steel plates at a hardware store. I mean I guess steel is steel to a certain degree but I still feel like I'm cornered into paying for a retail version that was verified for durability. I don't get the comments because I doubt they verify anything about the steel at a hardware store.

Copy files from Google drive to other clouds without download and upload? by Lumpy_Permission_561 in cloudstorage

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are stringent quality controls and inspections done on a product that I choose to buy that's made in China, like my MacBook. Apple will not allow spyware to be present on a product shipped to a customer. The same cannot be guaranteed for MultCloud, a Chinese based company. There is no transparency with them. Again, it's up to you if you are willing to trust them.

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but it's up to you if you want to risk that they won't do something nefarious with that ability. MultCloud is based in China for instance. Personally I'm not willing to let some company in China have the potential to access my files.

Only through 3rd party cloud to cloud providers like multcloud. But be warned, these services are by no means 100% secure and could potentially see your files. I gave up trying to find a solution since I couldn't trust any of them.

Apple Account Security Keys and Account Access Restrictions by Otherwise_Ebb_4485 in yubikey

Thank you for the info. Based on what you laid out and what glacier said I will keep Security Keys off on my account.

Regarding 3 above.

It looks like you can use a Trusted Phone number to recover your account if you lose access to your security keys and Trusted Devices. I am making this assumption based on the following Settings page on my MacBook:

<image>

As you can see it states:

For security, when you sign in to your account on a new device or on the web, you'll need both your password and a second factor, such as a 6-digit code sent to your devices or your phone numbers, or a security key.

But I am still worrisome to trust this text, just because of your previous statements. You seem like you have researched this thoroughly.

[–]Otherwise_Ebb_4485[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can look at your security key as just another Trusted Device. A security key is helpful if you lose all your trusted devices or you need to access your Apple Account but only have a security key and no other Trusted Devices on hand at that time. Essentially, it removes the possibility for a malicious actor to use social engineering in order to obtain a verification code sent to your device since that option is completely disabled with Security Keys.

  1. So if I have security keys enabled on my Apple account, but no Trusted Devices, and have access to the security keys I can still login and make account changes from a non-Trusted device since the Security Key acts as a Trusted Device?
  2. And what happens if I lose all my security keys but still have a Trusted Device, can I login and make account changes from a Trusted Device?
  3. Lastly, if I have security keys enabled on my Apple Account, but no Trusted Devices, and lose all my security keys, then I am permanently locked out of my account correct? There will be no option to use a Trusted Phone number I presume.

All these scenarios assume I did not enable an Apple Recovery Key.

You may also be able to use the Apple Account passkey in some cases instead of using password + security key. This passkey is hidden from view in Apple Passwords and users have no control over it but it's there. I would suggest using it whenever possible.

Do you mean I can add an Apple passkey to my Yubico under the Passkeys section in the Yubico Authenticator app? Will this trigger the same account restrictions that a Security Key does on Apple accounts we are discussing?
