Original: I spent the weekend switching 2FA services, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy
A technology writer has described the painful experience of migrating two-factor authentication accounts from one authenticator service to another, warning that the process is far harder than it should be. Moving 2FA often means manually re-enrolling dozens of accounts, since many sites offer no export option and losing access can lock users out entirely. The account has struck a chord with readers who share similar frustrations.
Why now: People are discussing it because migrating authenticator apps is a common, widely shared frustration with real security stakes
