    Staying anonymous. For every single multimillionaire or billionaire out there flaunting their wealth, there is another who's equally secretive about it. There are many folks with tens of billions in assets who don't make their wealth part of their brand. Like that guy in Texas whose estate paid billions in tax when he passed away.

    A TAN generator or security key stored in a drawer at home. At least it reduces the opportunities for theft since people don't carry these devices with them all the time as opposed to their phones. Opportunity makes the thief.

      Yeah I often think the issue with cash and crypto is that it can be easily forced away from an individual by any sufficienty armed and unscrupulous party. Money in a financial institution tends to have an upper limit on what could be forced away in a single act, or at least a single transction cycle.

  This is true with 1FA too. 2FA is more effective at stopping the case where you're hacked and you don't even know it because your password was in a leak.
