Exactly: limiting access is fine, lack of contingencies is not.

Some systems and services still only allow for one owner though (I'm not going to name names), which can be a big problem when MFA is mandated. From what the poster I responded to said, I'd be very surprised if that were the case for them though - just slightly daft policy.

This is where tooling like 1Password or Apple Keychain that lets you "share" MFA comes into play.

  • It doesn't allow sharing SMS, email or proprietary app based MFA.

    • Email is painfully easy to share. SMS may take some tricks (again, iMessage can be useful here).

      Proprietary apps are a pita.
