Been dealing with someone hammering my accounts with password recovery attempts for weeks straight. Same thing keeps happening—it's relentless. Two-factor authentication sounds solid on paper, but in practice? It's just not cutting it anymore. When bad actors are this persistent, standard 2FA feels like it's barely slowing them down. Makes you wonder what actually works when the basics don't feel secure enough.

NGL, 2FA isn't secure enough. This guy makes a good point; we need some biometric authentication or hardware keys.

2FA is really a joke. The exchange where I build my positions has been hacked three times in a week. On-chain data shows that those hackers are not afraid at all, just as persistent as shorting my positions. I need to quickly set up biometric authentication or a hardware wallet, or else I’ll lose everything.

This guy is really unlucky. I experienced the same a few months ago. 2FA can't really stop professionals.

2FA is really just psychological comfort; the collateralization ratio's weak defense line will eventually be breached.

What happened to this guy? 2FA couldn't stop it? He's probably dealing with a professional hacker.

look, lemme break this down for you—if you examine the data on brute force attack patterns historically speaking, standard 2fa is fundamentally a governance precedent that hasn't been stress-tested against modern threat vectors, ngl

ngl this guy's situation is really extreme. If 2FA can't stop it, then you should definitely be worried.

Bro, 2FA has long been a paper tiger; real hackers don't buy into that at all.
