@rose.bsky.team MFA via a 3rd party authenticator is pretty trivial to implement. Is it on the roadmap? ☺️
Perhaps now would be a good time for Bluesky to introduce an additional method of multi-factor authentication that isn't just directly linked to the email address that the user likely signed up with, therefore making it not very useful?

Looking at the salaries on offer for some senior journalism/editorial roles in 2026 (lower than what I was paid as a junior staffer in 2012) is certainly doing some work around vindicating going back to freelance instead of looking for a new full-time role as the correct decision. 💀
