I have recently installed this extension on FF: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/port-authorit... and yesterday I visited this website: https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ and I got a notification that the website tried to do a port-scan of my private network.

Is this a common thing? I have just recently installed the extension, so I am not sure if there are a lot of other websites who do it.

Since looking into it, I noticed that uBlock Origin already has the default list "Block Outsider Intrusion into LAN" but it wasn't enabled.

Hey HN,

Been thinking about account security and noticed that Hacker News still doesn't offer any form of 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication). Given the tech-savvy community here, it seems surprising that we don't have this extra layer of security.

TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) would be a great option to start with, considering its balance of security and convenience.

So, I'm curious:

    * What's the hold-up with implementing 2FA, specifically TOTP? Any technical hurdles or other considerations?
    * How important is 2FA to the HN community?

Seems like a no-brainer to add 2FA and beef up our account security. Thoughts?
