We have previously highlighted the importance of not losing your account number, encouraging it to be written down in a password manager or similar safe location.

For the sake of convenience account numbers have been visible when users logged into our website. This had led to there being potential concerns where a malicious observer could:

  • Use up all of a user’s connections
  • Delete a user’s devices

From the 3rd June 2024 you will no longer be able to see your account number after logging into our website.

MFA kinda defeats the purpose of Mullvad. The less they know about you the better.

A FIDO2 hardware key should do the trick. Not all MFA are based on communications.

You can’t use those on a router, and they are painful on mobile.

That was not the argument above, was it?

What kind of MFA you can use on a router, BTW?

I have a FIDO2 with Nfc, and it works. Is it convenient? No. Is it more secure? Yes.

Why can’t you use FIDO2 hardware keys on a router? I have a PC running openBSD as a Router and I can use hardware keys.
