I do use a password manager and most of my passwords are un-type-able
The two factor authentication delays just make them difficult for me to use.

Two-Factor Authentication?
Maybe I am just in a whiny mood.
Any one else have issues with two factor authentication?
Example:
You sign on to a web site with your home desktop computer. You know, the one you keep LOCKED up inside your house and no one else uses it. The web site wants to confirm "IT'S REALLY YOU" so it sends you an email. The email is slow to arrive. You move on to something else. The 6 digit code is EXPIRED when you finally get back to it. OR you try again. and ALL of the codes you finally get are 'bad'.
I buy too much stuff on Amazon. I order something. Switch to my email tab and hit refresh. The confirmation email is there. Seconds after you clicked BUY.
My Current Theory:
I set up my web page 15 or so years ago. I suspect that it is hosted Off Shore. The NSA is monitoring my emails and a human must look at the two factor confirmation emails.
Another Theory:
The "Pointy Haired Boss" (from Dilbert) wants to do use this new security measure. The company does not have enough horse power to send the emails immediately.
Another Theory:
Two Factor Authentication is done for the same reason they do road construction. It irritates Tom Neal.
Oh Well!
I guess I'll have to suffer through both.
