I use Microsoft Authenticator app and it works well for meI had all sorts of trouble getting back into the site.
OK now, but it was a major PITA at the time.
(wtf is a Google Authenticator App?)
The Microsoft app is free and works on IOS. I have been using for a couple of years now.I only use iPad and iPhone and some of yhe Authy apps were wanting a paid subscription I eventually found one that got me back for free. It was a right faff tbh
If it is or not is possibly beside the point because 2step verification is here and growing across the web, especially as it is now recommended for basically every online platform by the security experts, so all this is doing really is getting you used to it and giving you a chance to find out how it works by having it here on the forum so the next time you signup somewhere that needs it you will know all about it and be able to set it up easily (I always use the FreeOTP app its on android and iOS and its simple and easy and I love it )I dont have any issues.. but...
Where i work we are not allowed our mobile phones.
We have very limited inet access but luckly i can get onto DW.
So i have to email or write the back up codes down so i can login at work.
Nothing major but i dont think its totaly necessary for a forum.
