[Question] Selfies in order to turn off 2FA? Tumblr account retrieval dilemma
So, my desktop went kaputz one day and I had to re-login to my regularly used sites/services after fixing it.Unfortunately, due to some sort of error on Google Authenticator, the codes given were not working when I tried to log into Tumblr. I contacted Tumblr support and these were their directions:We can go ahead and remove your old two factor mobile account so you can gain access again to add your new number. For security reasons though, we just need a little more info from you.Is there a photo of you on the blog? If so, please send us the URL of the specific blog post. We can also use your avatar/portrait photo if it’s a clear picture of you or you don’t have another picture.The other thing we need from you is a photo of yourself for comparison. Please take a picture of yourself holding a piece of paper that says “Tumblr, this is literally me,” then send the photo in a reply to this email. You can send both of these items, the photo and the permalinks, in the same email. We need to be able to clearly see your face in both photos for comparison.In a world where deepfakes exists, is this really the best way identify a user trying to reclaim their account? It just sounds so ridiculous. Is this really secure?Note: Tumblr has 2FA, but it's not very good. Kind of like it was slapped on because everyone else was doing some sort of MFA. There are no backup codes, there are no backup security questions, and there is no backup sending the code to your phone. A poor attempt at a good concept.Thank you so much for reading. Please let me know if there is a better security-oriented sub I can discuss this issue on.

Should I setup my Fido U2F key in a way that it needs to be used every time I login to my gmail?
I'm a newbie so this might be a dumb question...but:So I bought a fido U2f key a while back, and set it up with my gmail account and removed any text recovery (as easier to have my phone compromised, than them having my fido u2f key).However, on my personal laptop I have it set to never ask for my Fido U2f key. My question is: isn't my Gmail still easily succeptible to hacks if I get keylogged? All the hacker needs to do is to get me to open an exe file and get control of my computer (forget the name of this type of hack), and thus in control of my gmail without my Fido U2f key.Is this correct, or am I missing something?

Privacy concerns when looking for a new smartphone
Greeting!I'm in the business of buying a new phone. I'm somewhat concerned about the general security and privacy of the biggest brands. I really don't like apple, so I'm mostly focusing on android.Does anyone have any suggestion on brands to look out for or to avoid?Any good resorces on things to think about after purchase in terms of configuration and what to install/uninstall?
