OT: how do you resubmit stuff? I occasionally stumble upon stuff that had been submitted previously but for some reason failed to gain traction. If I try to submit it again the submission page only takes me to the previously submitted entry.
The big issue for me though is Twitter. It does not support 2FA with FreeOTP (or the proprietary Google Authenticator). I don't want to install the Twitter App or hand over my phone number for privacy reasons.
Even with the Twitter app installed, I cannot enable 2FA.
I also do not get the option to enable 2FA with Apple when I log into the Apple ID site and go to the menu they instructed me to in the FAQ. The whole section they're talking about is just not there.
They're both failing if you ask me. And that also counts for the celebrity leaks; I blame the hacker first, and providers second. Especially with Apple, who push you to give them so much of your data, and then doesn't take the security of its customers seriously.
Heck, it doesn't matter that Google Authenticator is proprietary. The protocol it uses is open, and there are open-source apps implementing it. There really is no excuse.
"[...] And worst of all, my AppleID account was broken into, and my hackers used it to remotely erase all of the data on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. [...]"
A good reminder to go and tell your friends/family "Run, don't walk, to backup all of your important data right now." and hand them an external hard drive. 2FA + a password manager and whatnot would be a good idea, too :)

But in this case, the URLs are actually different, though they redirect to the same canonical version.

I would advise against that...

Backup, backup and again back-up!
