Hey guys, recently I've been thinking about the security of my accounts and decided that I want to use hardware devices for two-factor authentication with TOTP support. But to be honest, I'm a bit lost in this - what models are really reliable and convenient? The Internet is full of different options, but I would like to hear the experience of real people. I've recently seen that some tokens can be reprogrammed for your needs - sounds cool, but I don't know how convenient and safe it is. Who has encountered this?

There is so much around security nowadays that it is sometimes hard to keep up with the latest innovations. In my opinion, it is important not only to choose the right device, but also to understand how to use it. It is good that there are such discussions where you can learn something new even without deep technical knowledge. Sometimes it's just good to be aware of what people around you are doing to keep up with modern technology.
I have recently been choosing hardware solutions for 2FA, and I can advise you to pay attention to the proven otp tokens - they have proven themselves in terms of reliability and ease of use. Personally, I've had a token with the ability to reprogram for six months, and I like the fact that you can customize the validity time of passwords to suit your needs. Such a device really helps to increase the security of accounts, especially if you want to minimize the risks of hacking.
