I for one cheer and root for my flip phone friends.

I’d never do it, but we have one at work and he’s singlehandedly causing so much grief at work. Because none of the engineers wanna use a security app for login. They want a fob.

IT refuses to pay for fobs and wants us to use an app, but they also don’t want to pay for a phone for anyone in engineering just to use the security app because it opens a floodgate of people with company phones.

It’s just wonderful to watch this fight from the sidelines sipping tea.

I have no smartphone and am unable to access any of my college resources or email from home because you need a security app for remote login. I’ve got in trouble a few times for it but idk what I’m supposed to do. I wasn’t able to access my Exam Timetable because of this and had to ask some friends when the exams were because my teachers didn’t know (somehow). It’s very annoying.

You could install an android emulator on your personal computer then run the authenticator from there.

@toynbee @DeaDvey aren't there authenticators that run on desktop browsers? Or does it have to be a specific one

The OC said in a different comment that you must be on the college network to set it up.

You don’t need to tag me, by the way; I get a notification if someone responds to me directly.

sorry, I'm viewing this from mastodon so the setup's different.

All good. Hope you have a great day!

Yes, it’s a specific one. App only.

You can't be the first, surely. What a letdown from admin.
