A pentester told me my password manager setup was a joke and now I actually use 2FA

Used to think a good password was enough, but after a friend's account got drained I totally flipped on this. That pentester probably saved you a headache down the line... I have mine set up with an authenticator app now and it is way less scary than I thought. The extra step feels annoying at first but it is worth it honestly.

Oh man, I feel this so much! I was the same way, just relying on a solid password and thinking that was good enough. But after my email got compromised last year, I finally caved and set up 2FA with an authenticator app... it was a small hassle at first but now it's just part of my routine. Honestly, the peace of mind is worth that extra 30 seconds, especially when you hear about people losing access to everything. I even started using a hardware key for my most important accounts and that feels really solid too.
