    Home Assistant : Q&A, Tips & Tricks, Your Configs

    Thanks. I've seen this before, when I saw it last year it was still in preview mode as it is now, which is odd. I do hope that the device does come out of preview mode and into GA, would be great to bring everything in house. Was just reading the faq's and even they state that it's not as...

    Home Assistant : Q&A, Tips & Tricks, Your Configs

    HASS Voice? I've been looking at moving to HASS every few years. My key feature that I'm interested in is the voice element. Currently I use multiple Alexa devices to control the following elements around my home and I'm hoping someone will be able to tell me that has been using HASS if this...

    I did and thanks for that. But sms is inherently insecure channel susceptible to sim swap. The qr code is good method however its not present every time you login? Only when from a new device/ip? Or am I mistaken?

    If the security technology exists, why shouldn't it be used? Facebook has it, twitter, Carbonite. Yet standard bank does not. They're have been more than a few stories where people were not refunded the money because the nefarious actors knew the login credentials. For example, there is a...

    I'm more referring to two factor authentication username, password and another channel of authentication such as in app or time based OTP. Multichannel is always more secure than single channel. Email and sms are inherently insecure as they are (generally) not encrypted and sms is...

    Shouldn't it be at least a choice if you wanted to be annoyed and have to enter a code or authenticate through an app? I don't belive personally the future is device trust at least I have not seen it in some meaningful way. It should always be blended with something you know and something...

    Thanks everyone for your great feedback. Appreciate the input. I still feel the banking industry has a long way to go in terms of security. Things like Facebook has MFA, when I login I need to put in a 6 digit time based code. Same for Carbonite and Twitter.
