For passkeys, your password manager should prompt you to save them if it supports them.
For the authenticator (TOTP), you just save a QR code where it tells you. Just google "TOTP <your password manager>" and I'm sure you will find a guide
Least amount of hassle is probably a passkey in your password manager, if it supports it.
Passkeys are the quickest way to sign in.
Don't use a passkey on your computer, otherwise you will only be able to sign in from that computer.
If you find yourself struggling with passkeys, then the "authenticator" route is next best.
This just gives you a QR code, which you can also store in your password manager and have it generate one time codes.
If you have an authenticator app on your phone, you can rescan that same QR code to have the codes both places. (password manager and authenticator app)
The scale of the outsourcing I am talking about is far greater than whatever you're imagining.
We brought teams of people from India over to the US, housed and fed them, so they could be able to work with their counterparts overseas. On the India side we found their operating infrastructure to be woefully inadequate, so we helped them build entirely new facilities with perimeter fences, proper security, the works.
After all was said and done, the skills of the people we were getting were on par with someone with no programming experience that skimmed a java book in their spare time. The code quality was abysmal at best, and this was in the days before source control was popular.
One of the other huge problems was just the time zone difference. You get into work in the morning to have a meeting with some second-shift team in India, and find out about all of the work that didn't get done because they didn't know what they were doing .. spend the time to correct them, they say they will fix it the next day .. next day comes, same issues, no progress, repeat ad nauseum.
I've noticed that this stretches farther than America.
For example big name retailers in the Caribbean like Massy seem to be mostly or partially owned by Save-a-lot .. but I haven't had the time to investigate this yet.
The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built.
This is why software is so lucrative.. because the true cost of the software isn't how much you pay for it .. it's "how much is it going to cost you to change to something else?"
They just have to pretend they didn’t know what they did and it’s legal.
The only way to not leak your data is to run it locally.
