With what platforms is 1Pasword 2-step verification compatible
At least one site indicated that the only Authenticator that was compatible was the Google Authenticator. Hence, as I understand it, the Google Authenticator and the Microsoft Authenticator are not c...
@HalfBekend Microsoft Authenticator supports two different types of 2 step verification with two different types of QR code.
Microsoft services will encourage you to use their proprietary system that supports push notifications and requires a different shared secret for each device. This is enabled by a custom QR code format that cannot be read by Google Authenticator or 1Password.
But it also supports the industry standard OATH Time-based One Time Passcode protocol that is based on hashing a single shared secret with the current time. If a particular service claims to support Google Authenticator then this is the system that is being used and you can be confident that 1Password will be able to read the QR code.
If for whatever reason it cannot read the QR code, you will not be able to provide the 6 digit passcode to the website and 2 step verification will not be enabled.
