SMS makes for a very poor second factor, and unfortunately, it is frequently accepted as a way to recover accounts -- even if you don't choose to make it your primary second factor.
I believe, Google is the only company that gets this right. You can set up your GMail account to only allow hardware tokens as secure second factors. This is a lot more secure, and it is a good idea for something as important as your primary e-mail account. But it can at times be somewhat cumbersome.
But in either case, use a second factor. And this is the order of how secure they are:
0. enable Google's "Advanced Protection". Extremely secure. Mostly easy to use. But some services don't quite work right with it yet.
Let me regale you with a tale called The Foldable Flat Fiasco!
I spent NYE in Las Vegas, and knowing that I would be doing a lot of walking in heels, I decided to shop around for some foldable flats while I was visiting my boyfriend's family in the Northeast. I would have ordered them online, but we were leaving in the next two days and I didn't think to buy these far enough in advance. Bad planning. Oh well. No problem, right? I can go find some in a store, right? Easy enough! I can deal with post-Christmas shopping madness to quickly pick these up, right?
Macy's
My first stop was at the shoe department. I assume that they wouldn't have them there, since they weren't quite display-worthy, but that they would know where I could find them. Assistant #1 directs me down to lingerie. Fine. I go down to lingerie and scour the racks and racks and racks, and find only (surprise) lingerie, comfy pjs, and all types of undapants. I pick up some spanx tights while I'm there, and head up to the accessories section. Nothing. I try the purse section (because they go in your purse, right?). Nothing. I pull up the Macy's website and see multiple foldable flat options, just to make sure they had them. I go back to the shoe department, where Assistant #2 tells me that Macy's doesn't sell them in-store. Great. So I go home, wait another day, then I head to...
Wal-Mart
Surely Wal-Mart will have them, I think to myself. It's Wal-Mart. Their website has them. They have to be in store.
I asked some assistants for help, and they look at me like I asked if they sold iguanas. They are not in store.
Well, that's fine. I don't like Wal-Mart's aesthetic anyway. Let's go to their cooler older sister.
Target
The assistants look at me like I asked if they sold gold iguanas. That's cool, Target, I don't need the extra Starbucks calories anyway.
At this point, I am getting frustrated. This isn't a quality item. It's cheap, and meant to be cheap, but I can't let them go. It's becoming my white whale.
Famous Footwear
They haven't seen these in stores for years, but they cheerfully tell me that they're having a 50% off sale. That's nice, but those shoes look like quality items that I'd wear on my feet, and not things that I shove in my purse in compact form. Who needs that other crap?
Kohl's
The assistants had never even heard of foldable flats. How could they not? They were very much a real thing in my mind, though I'm starting to wonder if I'm having hallucinations.
I forgot to mention that my boyfriend has been with me this entire time. We can both be amazingly stubborn about things, so this has become his white whale, too. We sit in the car while he pulls up websites of stores around us. He suggests Party City. "They have a bridal section," he says. "Lots of bachelorette party supplies."
Party City
Swing and a miss. Good effort, boyfriend. Way to think outside the box.
However, I've hit my wall. "I'll just wait to buy them in Vegas," I say. "They MUST be easy to come by there!"
Las Vegas, Nevada
They are! How wonderful! We're picking up snacks in Walgreen's and I see them by the front. I pick up a box and strike a victory pose. I buy them, the cashier asks if I want the receipt, I say "no" because I'm a cocky sonofagun, and we go back to the hotel. Finally, I think to myself. These better be the most useful purse shoes in the entire world. I better feel like kittens are lightly massaging my feet.
The box only had one shoe. It was too big. I throw it out and keep the pouch.
Moral of the story: there is no moral. This was utterly demoralizing. But I had fun typing it out, which I guess is all that matters.
I need these too! I found them!
Transparent Boots
The closest thing I could find
I am a big fan of the slim profile of Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66's. I've personally only seen these mentioned a few times in this sub. Come in a large variety of colors, of which I have owned the White/Red/Blue, Birch/India Ink/Latte, and just received White/Burgundy in the mail after wearing out my last pair that I bought 2 1/2 years ago. I think they're sleek for casual everyday wear.
Look into second factor authentication. Here is one version of a hardware key that is needed to login, they can have your password but without this key they cant get in https://www.amazon.com/Yubico-YubiKey-NEO-USB-Authentication/dp/B00LX8KZZ8
You can also use google authenticator, requiring a code each time there is a new login attempt.

Your cell phone has a unique key, IMSI, which authenticates your device and is paired with your number. Someone can definitely spoof their number as yours, but wouldn't be able to receive your data stream.
Google gives you the option to use a physical device like the YubiKey as an alternative to using a mobile device.
After months of searching/hoping, I finally found true high rise black jeans with 93% cotton... and I got them for $35!!! thank you Gap!
I've only worn them once (after washing) so I'll have to see about longevity, but so far it feels like a Christmas miracle.
I also finally got some Chelsea rain boots after holding out for ever. The Sam Edelman ones went on sale on Amazon for $22 (usually $55) a few weeks ago and I pulled the trigger.
These loafers are pretty warm.
boots!
I have a few tricks.. I can wear mine about 4 hours if I'm walking a lot or so far I've been good with 8 hours at school doing a mix of walking/sitting in lecture.
Warning though: wearing heels like this can mess up the positioning of your uterus, and can cause knee and foot damage.
Now onto making your legs look good :D
This is all I can think of off the top of my head but have fun and build up. Pack comfy shoes and change when you need to. Actually, dr. scholls just produced like packable flats (Fast Flats they come in a cute gold bag to toss in a purse).. Over time you'll notice that you are able to walk further and longer in heels - I don't wear them in transit - I wear comfy shoes and change around the corner before I arrive at where I'm going most of the time..
Good Luck!
I think Crocs are great for the garden. That's what they were made for. IMO, that's where they should have stayed.
I don't think they're any great shakes. But then, what your body says trumps even the most professional of opinions.
I always recommend any Crocs fan to try the shoe that they shamelessly ripped off in the first place.
I summon /u/batfacecatface because she was one of those willing to take time and listen to me whine about my life when I needed it the most! You are amazing and thank you so much
She really needs these super cute slippers - becasue 1. CUTE!! so cute and 2. because her other half says she has to wear slippers in the house! and 3. Kindness is key and she has it in spades!
I️ just bought these boots and while they aren’t real leather they’re comfortable and right at the two inch heel mark. 10/10 I️ would buy in other colors.
Boots for $24.99, marked high priority!
I bought a bootbra from amazon to solve my slouchy-boot problems.
I'm her wife. She needs these boots
These high priority boots :)
Thanks so much! Definitely a long way to go, but I’m glad I’m finally getting to make it happen!

It should work, but it might be better to get a NFC version. Then you don't have to carry around an adapter.
Note: You can have more than one kind of 2-step verification.

Just my 2 cents.
I carry a pair of these when I go out & they've managed fairly well on a dance floor and trudging through a couple city blocks after.
Now to wander my apartment wearing socks with them to stretch them out a tiny bit!
I’ve been eying them up on Bhldn’s website and recently saw them 25% off on Amazon!
Badgley Mischka Women's Gigi Pointed Toe Flat
Oh, yes bring flats. Especially for the dance part of the wedding. You can buy collapsible flats that slip easily into a clutch if you don't want to carry/worry about another pair of shoes being somewhere. I bought these at a drugstore.
Dansko has a bunch! (I love Dansko.)

The reason those places call them "sandals" is because flip flops are sandals! But "flip-flop" is such an informal sounding thing and you picked fancy sites.
Check more casual sites. Eg, here's something that looks kinda remotely in the same ballpark on Amazon - "Havaianas Women's Top Tiras Sandal Flip Flop".
They're called flip flops because the lack of support around the heel makes the sole flop around (and sound awful, haha). They only intersect in the sense that the set of all flip flops is a subset of the set of all sandals (which is a totally valid intersection, but also implies that all flip flops are sandals). As an aside, perhaps the strawpoll should have made the mathematical relationship something like F ⊂ S and S ⊄ F.
They're not quite the same, but these petty boots are close.

Amazon hat die passenden Schuhe.
I am going to go as a pedobear IF I can get the slippers on my wishlist. I'm too broke to get them right now. My boyfriend is going to be the little girl. :-)
Maybe Jessica Rabbit if I am sans slippers.
Hush Puppies
Dr. Martens - these don't specifically come in a wide-width, but they're sized VERY generously and I highly recommend them as a fellow orthotics-wearer.
Rockport - available in wide-width except for 11
Sam Edelman
Hope you find something you like! I know how tough it is to find nice looking orthotic-friendly footwear.
What about chelsea rainboots? I have a pair in black from J.Crew, they're waterproof and I got matte ones so you can't really tell that they are rubber boots from far away.
boot bra?
Slippers? https://www.amazon.com/Totoro-Dust-Bunny-Makkurokurosuke-Slippers/dp/B001JT6ZQE
There's always a moon lamp. I don't know what it is I like about these things but it just seems like a really cool gift item. It has like an artsy/Studio Ghibli-vibe to it but also a hipster-y vibe too: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074SF11JZ/ Maybe I just need to buy this for myself. XD
How about fast flats, or something similar?
Did you know Amazon will donate a portion of every purchase if you shop by going to smile.amazon.com instead? Over $50,000,000 has been raised for charity - all you need to do is change the URL!

You're very welcome; your ideas were the most generative/inspiring/inline with what I was looking for, and helped lead me to what I ended up gifting them.
I ended up going with Totoro slippers (though not the ones you linked to-- I chose [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Totoro-Soft-Gray-Plush-Slippers/dp/B004RJRAVW/ref=pd_sim_sbs_t_2) instead), chocolate and regular D10 dice for B (though I was VERY close to purchasing the crusader mug from your link), and a Paul Muldoon broadside for C. I enjoyed your suggestion for C the most, but figured if I was going to spend around $30 for a teacup set, I might as well shell out an extra 10 for something truly personal (he's a big Muldoon fan).
Thanks again for all your aid, and everyone else-- you guys were all a huge help.
Let's see..
Only five! I'm surprised.
Probably these. Although this is close.
For my 18th birthday I want to get out of this state! I've been in Illinois for my whole life. Illinois is a great state but I just want to see something new!
Speaker of da hauz
the sam edelman tinsley is really similar, has great reviews and would probably be available in nordstrom or other department stores!
i have the stormy and they are definitely not comfortable - i have narrow feet and they're almost too narrow for me.
I pretty much always buy clothes non-stop but I've actually been keeping a list of how much I'm spending this fall and I need to go on a no-buy really soon. But first I must decide if I want black leather Dr. Martens or Patent pewter spectra Dr. Martens. Part of my brain is telling me that obviously I need both.
PURCHASES! Woohooo. I never shop for myself, like ever. So this past week I treated myself.
amazon
First off, many of these things are intentionally cheap, because I do tend to break and/or lose things, so... Here goes.
All have Amazon links, because that was what was easiest.

There's some heel but it's not too big. I've worn shoes with big heels and I'm already 6'2 so I sympathize with you there.
I've been using LastPass at home and work. I also like it since I just started playing around with and liking a NFC U2F card, which the LastPass android client is compatible with.
Here are the shoes. TBH they'd look pretty great if they had some LEDs in them around the top.
[Sam Edelman Petty ] (http://www.amazon.com/Sam-Edelman-Womens-Petty-Ankle/dp/B004I5D2PI) boots in putty suede? I want a sleek, light weight, really comfortable pair of ankle boots. I walk a lot and always fall back on my New Balances but they just aren't sleek. I'm not too worried about the suede because I already have really solid waterproof boots and I'm generally a fan of taupeish color because (I think) it pairs nicely with brown or black.
My main concern is, are the Petty boots just too trendy? I feel like I'm seeing them everywhere right now and the price tag is high enough that I'd like to get at least a year or two of wear out of them. I guess black leather would be a safer choice in terms of being able to blend in but I just don't like them as much.

There are any number of possible "factors", but generally speaking people mean "something you know" and "something you have" when talking about 2FA, and that's where I'll stay for the purposes of this discussion.
"Something you know" covers passwords, answers to security questions, and anything else that's a piece of knowledge you could tell me and I could use to authenticate as you at an arbitrary time in the future.
Most commonly, a "something you have" is a device (smartphone!) that implements HOTP or TOTP. Since the algorithms produce different numbers every 30 seconds, someone who intercepts the number once has no way of predicting what the correct number will be after the 30-second period has finished. This is really important, because it means to successfully compromise your account, an attacker not only has to steal or guess your static password (which they can do remotely), but steal a physical device that you probably keep on your person, and either alert you to it being stolen or copy the inputs the device uses for the OTP algorithm (which isn't trivial).
Personally, I use a Yubikey and either U2F or their HOTP/TOTP app. It's pretty cheap compared to most HSMs, and is significantly less likely to be compromised than my computer or phone. For most people, an OTP app is sufficient, but since I often find myself with full-access Amazon credentials for companies and things like that, I have a bit of a more paranoid risk model than most.
My dad teaches culinary school and swears by these! I found this sub on accident, but seriously he runs his through the dishwasher to sanitize them. If I had stayed in fine dining I would have my own by now, I hated Shoes for Crews. They're Birkenstocks but since it's this model specifically, I linked them. Good luck with your kitchen career! http://www.amazon.com/Birkenstock-Professional-Profi-Birki-Resistant/dp/B00GAXZQ9Q

Wear these. This is what we use in kitchens. They are comfy, easy on your feet, enhance your posture and are non-slip.
birkenstock kitchen clogs. They are non slip and super comfy.
I was just explaining it to u/floofugus. After reading these stories, I am removing my mobile phone from most sites that need 2FA and getting a Yubikey. I hope Gemini gets back to you in time. They seem like a well run exchange, so I suspect you'll be fine.
Of course you may ask! I bought my shoes at some random shoe store because I really wanted this style - they are the Danskos Maise sandal. I like them quite a bit, but I'm still getting use to picking outfits that work with them.
I had Sam Edelman's Tinsley boots in polished black for a couple years and loved them. I needed a wide width so I recently replaced them with A New Day's Alex boots and I'm loving the matte black because at first glace they can pass as normal boots. I wear them with cuffed jeans like this and a jacket similar to this. It's great because it doesn't look so obviously 'rain gear' like most are.
I got these flats which are fairly comfortable! I am usually an 8 or 8.5 and the 8 fit perfectly.
Is there a store you can stop to along the way - a dollar store to grab a cheap pair of flip flops (or slippers) or a drug store where you can pick something like these up?
Totoro Slippers
Thanks for the contest!

I need slippers WINTER IS COMING.... and my feet are awful cold. I'm tired of sitting on my feet to keep them warm, then having my feet fall asleep, there is nothing worse than feet that are all pins and needles tingly when you have no choice but to hop up quick like for some child related emergency. Wishlist link
also you are awesome and I hope you are having a good day <3
If you care more about style, as a 101 hipster I can state that I see these everywhere (I can admit to owning about 5 pairs). People either get a waterproof option or spray them with some sealant. They have worked fine for me on light hikes, but it's more about your personal expectations.

I've seen some version of these on a few people on the street lately and I can't tell where on the geriatric/cute scale they are but I'm embracing it so likely pulling the trigger next paycheck ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I've been looking for suggestions for keeping my thigh high boots up and keep them from slouching. I can't walk more than 5 feet without them falling down to my knee, and then five more feet and they're below my knee. Not hot.
I've seen a few solutions online:
I would LOVE to hear what has worked for you, any advice you have, any mistakes you've seen.
HELP! Thanks :)

Something interesting about myself.... I'm from Korean, Japanese, French, German, and English descent. I also love paper dolls :)
Maybe he meant the price was real? Who knows, unless that Delegations is a specific colorway, amazon as the all white ones for 55.
I'm assuming these are the ones you linked? They're just missing the writing on the side?
Rockstar
Thank you for the contest!
Is this it? Because $50 isn't that cheap, and the last thing I need is one more thing to remember to carry around with me.
what about these ? I have to sense for that sort of thing but I've heard from some friends these are handy.

What size do you wear? Depending on that you can find some great deals on Amazon
Amazon.com for cheap docs! I don't know if they are good for winter, since there is no winter in southern California, but they are comfy.
These are mine
I got the Petty 2, which unfortunately doesn't come in black and is cheaper for some reason, but it looks like the Petty (which I'm assuming is the one you were looking at) is only 130 on Amazon (some savings, at least?).
Happy birthday!
I'd probably get myself these slippers because I'm a sucker for Totoro. And my dog chewed up all of my slippers haha.
>Check more casual sites. Eg, here's something that looks kinda remotely in the same ballpark on Amazon - "Havaianas Women's Top Tiras Sandal Flip Flop".
Lol you linked to a foam flip flop with plastic straps. I'm talking about leather sandals with heels. "Kinda in the same ballpark" 😂 right, dude.
They intersect. The fact that I posted a leather sandal and you responded with "definitely a flip flop" means you don't know what you're talking about, or that I'm correct in stating that there is intersect.
Regardless it's moot because the poll is now about arguing over semantics.
