Episode notes
Prefer Accountants Over Tax Software
- Hire an accountant if you value privacy and expert handling of taxes instead of using commercial tax software.
- A good accountant can save you money and handle privacy-conscious practices better than DIY software.
Avoid Single-Point Failure For 2FA Recovery
- Store 2FA seeds or recovery codes in separate places to avoid a single point of failure.
- Use hardware keys, strong master passwords, offline managers (e.g., KeePass), or split storage for redundancy.
Prefer Backing Up TOTP Seeds
- Backup your TOTP seed rather than only recovery codes so you can reimport to any authenticator client.
- Use encrypted backups from your authenticator app or store the seed securely offline.
