Please don’t enable 2FA (infosec.pub)

2FA in lemmy doesn’t work reliably yet. Please don’t enable it or you will almost certainly get locked out.

Note: it makes me sad to post this.

Once it does work, will it allow apps like authy or will I have to wait till I get a phone number?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Even the current implementation allows Authy. It isn't great, but if you copy/paste the link that the "2FA Activation Link" gives you? It's an OTP link you should be able to paste it right in the TOTP secret field. Bitwarden has the capability, I'd be surprised if Authy couldn't parse that link.

You really don't have a phone number? If so maybe you can try this https://voice.google.com/u/0/calls

Some of us care about privacy and don't want to give out our numbers willy nilly

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That isn't why for me. I'm broke and unless you actively work to remove your number from databases and whatever... that kind of privacy is an illusion.

Looked at that a bit ago. Requires a phone number to verify.
