Do you secure your Ente Auth by 2FA?

Questions

Hello,

I was wondering if you secure your Ente Auth account with 2FA. The problem with securing Ente Auth with 2FA on top is 2FA storage. As I’m using Ente for my TOTP, I have no other app that I use OTP with. Also, one could secure an Ente account using Yubikey, but it’s not working for me on Graphene.

I think there’s no a big deal if I didn’t enable 2FA for Auth, right? Someone would get an access to the OTP codes only, without passwords which are stored in Bitwarden.

What are your thoughts?

I would keep a printed copy of the TOTP secret for your Ente account in a secure place so that you can always recover it yourself.

Alternatively, as long as you have the password to your account (since it’s E2EE), it should be possible for Ente to disable 2FA on your account, assuming you can prove ownership. (Don’t quote me on this, it’s best to ask Ente support what their policies are in such situations.)
