Trying to clean up my 2FA process after having an iPhone go through a snowblower.

@47biedman

There are the occasional sites who insist on SMS authentication. You might want to look a https://2fa.directory/us/ for any sites you have questions about. I can't think of any problematic ones off-hand. At least not in the apps and sites I use.

OK. Spoke with Schwab today about migrating from the fob to 1P. They directed me to Symantic VIP app [for the Mac].

Got that working but I really want to use 1P for 2FA. Know anything about how to do that? Ask me whatever questions about the VIP app and I'll see if I can answer them.

Thanks.

If you're able to generate a code from the site or the site provides a texted based string you can likely use it with 1Password.

Use 1Password as an authenticator for sites with two-factor authentication

Currently I must use the Symantec app which provides me with a "credential ID" and the 6 digit code. Can I use the Symantec app to transition to 1P?

@47beideman You could use the Symantec app and then later on import your data to 1Password: https://support.1password.com/import/#import-a-csv-file-from-another-app. 1Password can't be used only as an authenticator for your websites. If you do that, you'd end up adding your login data, and if you use the Symantec app, then you'd have 2 different apps/services for your logins. Does your bank require for you to use the Symantec app? If not, I recommend just setting up and using 1Password so that you don't have to have a separate app for 2fa.

Bank does require Symantec app [finance companies are both so controlling and tech laggards]. Trying to get around using their app.

If this is work related, don't run afoul of corporate and IT polices. Stay safe!

If it's personal and we're talking about the industry in general then they can be more controlling and while they may think they have our best interests at heart... It's one of the reasons we created this. An open letter to banks

It's personal. That letter is great. I've been trialing different personal finance packages and "automatic" downloading process may be the worst I've seen in many, many years of living in tech.

Years behind.

Hey - you guys should buy a bank and write a personal finance app. Problem solved!

@47beideman we might have to consider that in the future!

Why not have an open letter that users can send to any website not just banks?
