  • It's probably not for marketing emails. They probably require login to disable account alerts. Imagine a threat actor gets access to your account, turns of transaction alerts so you aren't notified, then transfers out all your crypto.

    I'm certain the marketing emails don't require login to unsubscribe.

  • Probably an unpopular opinion - but I actually think requesting overriding 2fa is a big deal and companies shouldn't do that lightly. If I had a lot of money in crypto I would sure hope the exchange would scrutinize a request to turn off 2fa. And if op had saved their backup words they wouldn't have been in this situation.

    Now requiring that to change an email subscription is not great, but again - turning off 2fa without the proper backup options should be difficult and scrutinized.

  • Not really. I disable camera access to most apps on my phone and in general I trust that. Never felt the need for a physical shutter.

    I think if I was in an environment where I used my devices within eyeshot of others frequently I'd probably think about a privacy screen protector, but I typically have private places I can use my phone for sensitive things so I just try to be cognizant of my surroundings to prevent shoulder surfing

    All depends on the threats you're concerned about I guess

  • Good summary - agreed on all points!

  • Thanks for the recommendation!

  • If you think about it the fact that modern English uses "Have" in this context (primarily describing something you own) is actually weirder than "Am" (something you are)

  • Agreed, I was being a bit melodramatic about them.
