  • Worst thing? Someone with access to your password can now break into the associated account, and use that access to snoop or potentially permanently lock you out. E2EE data could be lost forever if they change the password and 2FA.

    More likely? Unless you reuse passwords, or the associated site has been recently compromised, pretty low odds of compromise. If you suspect your 2FA has leaked, just get a new secret, easy peasy. Most reputable sites should alert you to a login on a new device, potentially giving you time to react or alerting you of snooping.

    If your secret leaks without context on what site it’s associated with, then unless your name is Taylor Swift, odds of someone associating it to a site, let alone the matching password, are astronomical.









  • Depends on what you are using them for.

    E.g., if you maintain a Proton email account because you don’t want your emails mined for businesses to advertise at you, then you give very little info away by your bank finding out about the purchase.

    If you use it because you’re engaging in activity that could be considered illegal, then your bank knowing about the purchase is probably the least of your problems if someone starts digging. Mysudo has to respond to a court order just like your bank and has access to all of the same PII






  • capture the generated codes and time of input in some way, then brute force hashes until they generate one that produces the correct codes at x time

    Given a TOTP key is usually at least 18 characters for a 6-digit code, having only one data point sticks you with something on the order of 10^28 possible keys for a given singular code (way more if case sensitive). You’d need to be regularly intercepting TOTP codes to brute force your way to the right key, and even then it’d only be valid for a single site. At that point it probably means you’ve fully compromised the connecting device or server, at which point, why do you even need the TOTP again?
