Still I'm using google 2fa authentication without any problems. It is very important to save 16 digit code on a paper. Cause if we lost it then I think there have no way to reset account.

That's wright! Why nobody told me that at the beginning? Btw anybody know how to recover that code if you didn't wrote it?

There's no recovery with Google Authenticator without the QR code or characters of the 2fa seed (Authy app has backup option though). If Authenticator is used for a site like an exchange, and you still have working 2fa, you can go in and disable & re-enable 2fa to get a new 2fa seed, which you can then save.

I didn't meet any problem using 2-Factor Authentication but my friend had. His Binance account was hacked and all his money on Binance gone, he installed Binance 2FA only on his mobile and he didn't store back up phrase on computer.

Is there any loss of privacy while using 2 Factor authentication?
If you use Google Authenticator on an android phone (where essentially you have linked your google id), to authenticate the login of a third party website, can google link your google id with the credentials of the third party website?

This thing is making crypto safer https://medium.com/@tim_coin/inviting-bids-for-geonode-infrastructure-program-by-solyd-bctclabs-97f4d651c355

Private keys are weakest link in crypto lifecycle. Once gone, it's gone. Either by loss, hack or destruction.
Geonodes will make wallets which can have customisable level of security instead of private keys. There are no keys and neither anything is stored in any database. It is hot wallet protected by geofencing of smart contracts.
Read article of telecoms coming to play a bigger role for this here.

There is no loss of privacy while using 2 Factor authentication.
Google Authenticator is as safe as can be and one of the best security mesures available.
Though it is advicesable to save up the code somewhere else incase you lose you device and still want to log in.

Now a days 2-Factor Authentication is the most effective security system we can use is in our crypto exchangers and also wallets it's really safe for us.

and every exchange and wallet has been synchronized with 2FA only we need to activate it except MEW, still can't

Absolutely agree that 2-Factor Authentication is very helpful and true that for now is a security that is very necessary for the transactions that we will do and are needed.

Do not doubt the safety of 2-FA-this system is very reliable, but do not forget to take care of your safety. Always save the 2-FA code in Notepad or on a computer file as this is your state. Your mobile device at any time can break or get lost and there are great difficulties .

This is definitely a very good 2-Factor Authentication app for Internet users. Today it is very effective to protect your accounts, and indeed anything. There are of course and other methods, but this very good.

There shouldn't be any loss of privacy... but i don't trust google at all. Try getting a 3rd party 2fa that'll be widely accepted.

Google authenticator is used most often to tighten the security of your account, I'm not sure if companies like Google will risk their reputation to be destroyed in an instant by violating your privacy. So far, I have not had a problem with 2-step verification, whether it's an account thief or an account breaker..
What I experienced was only the difficulty of the process / mechanism of entering a password but I still had to enter the 6-digit code that entered your cellphone. but that is a consequence if we want to provide extra security for our account..

in my opinion, the Google Authenticator is very safe to use even though it belongs to Google because when you scan the barcode code is incorrect, it cannot be estimated, but it cannot be used as a benchmark for 100 safe

as 2-FA authentication performance. is one of the second application security features
so we don't need to worry if the word cellphone is damaged or lost because we still have the main password for the application that we use and we can also fix 2-FA authentication

I think no, but as long you didn't give the 16 digit code to anyone they can have another authentication. Keep it on the right place that you only knows because if your device is destroyed or gone you can have another authentication to open you account.

I always double save the 2-FA authentication.

cause it's hard to restore it again if your smartphone is broken or stolen by others.

so my suggestion is you must save it 2 times. by paper and on your smartphone. cause it doesn't have a backup feature right now.
