For years I have kept my pictures on Flickr (all private) as a repository so they are not stored on my phone or any other device. Flickr has my girl email account, but I do not give them my cell number.. so password retrieval if I forgot the password is only to my girl email. Yesterday, tried to login and Flickr was asking for a secondary code emailed to my girl email. I never received the code email. I use a very complex password on the account. Thought I was locked out of my private pics forever. Tried later, and got in on just the password. I think Flickr may be upgrading to 2 factor authentication soon. Yikes, I may need to download all my pics to a secure thumb drive. I?d hate to lose 10 years of pics. Anybody else use Flickr as a private repository?
