you know everything, asshole

I can't get over how god-damn offended you are by a joke. I don't need to take your insults just because I pointed out your bad security decision in an unflattering way.

I don't know everything but I know how MFA works and backup codes have literally been implemented since day one.

nothing has changed about the UI since.

panicking

Let me remind you, that my joke was about your decision to disable MFA, not anything else you're so eager to accuse me of here.

it mirrors the post we are commenting on

You didn't actually miss the "I can't use my Auth app right now" link, though. Come on.

you’re a prick

I don't go around calling people names because I can't take a joke, so at least I've got that going for me.
