Stop Trusting Google With Your Keys

Listen Later

Convenience is the enemy of sovereignty.

If you rely on SMS or cloud-synced apps like Google Authenticator, you are not securing your account. You are just handing your keys to a landlord.

I ran a poll and 38% of you are still trusting Big Tech with your 2FA. I'm done with that. I trust physics, not luck.

In this video, I break down the four tiers of authentication, explain why I deleted Google Authenticator, and start my review of the top hardware keys on the market.
