I wish frameworks included 2FA support in the default auth systems. While there are third party packages to add 2FA support, adding support at the framework level would help drive 2FA adoption in a major way. Question : How would you add 2F

Same here, 3 to 5 fps on Chrome and a consistent 60 fps on firefox 58. There's definitely something wrong with Chrome for linux. Try the Stripe docs page https://stripe.com/docs/api#error_handling , same issue. Bu

It's not decentralized, just a simple website built using Django. The idea is to host chat rooms for people (including non-technical folks) who are interested in cryptocurrencies. I'm still figuring out how to differentiate my web

I don't think that's a good fit for HN. A chat room format might make more sense and I'm actually trying to build something similar to what you described : a chat room to discuss anything related to tech and startups. It&#x27

Even if I don't use iCloud, the Apple ID forces me to use a phone number for 2FA and account recovery right? https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204915 Thanks for the app suggestions, will try them.

Regarding iCloud accounts, Apple seems to be forcing the usage of phone numbers for 2FA and account recovery without an option to disable it. I switched from an Android device to an iPhone recently and was asked to setup an iCloud account.
