  • Aegis for 2FA
  • always use 2FA where possible
  • good old USB TAN generator for online banking
  • never ever do online banking on my phone
  • degoogled phone
  • no facebook, insta, whatsapp etc. Signal and Liftoff are enough.

I’m planning to completeley switch to Linux on my computer. I’m also waiting for the Fairphone 5 and will install Ubuntu Touch on it when it will become available.

What do you mean by ‘USB TAN generator’? I don’t think I’m familiar.

It’s a 2FA using your online login (1st factor) and an one time password generator (2nd factor) to authorize money transactions.

The USB is needed to power the generator and has no data transfer option.

Ah, that seems awesome! Im assuming that is unavailable in the States?
