FYI there is an open source reimplementation of Flash from scratch called Ruffle that should solve all the security issues that Flash had. It runs on WASM so it's compatible with modern browsers. The New York Times is using it to bring back some old interactive/animated pages that relied on Flash.

You keep the recovery codes unexposed to the internet or obfuscated in some way, unlike your usual password.

How is a strong password I used exclusively for Bitwarden "exposed to the internet"? I do see the value of this for people that don't care about security and reuse the same password everywhere. In that case you would need something like phishing to expose the 2FA code or the recovery code, just a leak of the email-password combination from another website would not be enough. But what's the point if I'm already using a unique strong password specifically for Bitwarden?

yes, that's the whole point, to recover your account if you lose your MFA device. what are you even trying to say?

If you can login without the second factor then what's the point?

The fact that no widely used LLM is open source is not a good reason to change its meaning.

From the wikipedia link you posted:

Account recovery typically bypasses mobile-phone two-factor authentication

It also lists more advantages than disadvantages.

Why can't I keep my password in a secure location then?

Sounds like a second password then.

It's not open-source, stop spreading disinformation. The core of the product are the model weights and no source is provided for them, making them irreproducible. This is as open source as distributing a single exe file because after all you can read the assembly code, no?

Insanity is when you lose or can't access your 2FA device and you're locked out of your account.

Not really, portals give you shortcuts in 3D space, they don't allow you to interact with a whole different dimension. If you have Minecraft there's a really nice custom map called "The Hypercube" which sorts of emulates a 4th dimension, it felt much more confusing than Portal (2) for me.

50 years ago people thought everyone would be able to program using BASIC, now you think everyone will be able to program using AI. It seems nothing has changed in 50 years.

Sorry, by looking more into it I realized webview is actually a different thing than what I was thinking about.
