5 years agoContext: Currently I use Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator and 1Password for generating 6 digit passcodes.
That was one of the 3 answers I was looking for.
I conclude that 1Password is completely compatible with Google Authenticator, which is what many sites and also my NAS requires. So I can abolish Google Authenticator... Less apps is simplification and 1Password nicely fills everything in. Left with 2 apps.
Question 2: As I understand it, Microsoft Authenticator supports 2 different ways for 2-step verification, way A and way B.
Is way A the same as the Google authenticator (so not similar to but exactly the same), with the same algorithm? This is just out of curiosity because of the answer to question 1.
Question 3: Is way B, which requires a different secret key for each device which you use to log in, compatible with 1Password by simply storing 1 secret key in 1Password and then generating the 6 digit passcode for any device you use to log in? Or does it somehow actually check the device somehow?
If not, is there another way to only use 1Password even for way 2 verification?
