So am I not better served, if I just keep this new 2FA option disabled? If I keep it disabled, it will keep using my email (or other logged-in devices) for the 2FA, and I don't need to attach a phone number.Īnd yes my email account is also secured via 2FA. ago Yes, just had to wait till chat hours opened. However, its somewhat concerning that you can add the account to a new phone using a PIN code. You should also keep a copy of the back up codes somewhere safer. One of Twilio Authys big advantages is encrypted cloud backup. In the Preferences, go to security: In the Security tab, click the Two-Factor Authentication. You have to remove 2FA from your account and then set it up again on your new phone. I read many times that SMS tokens are considered bad/unsafe as a 2FA option. Click the Tools tab and find the Preference option. So this entire 2FA via Authenticator app just comes down to who has access to the phone number/SMS messages. Via this phone number, you can reset the 2FA and basically circumvent the entire Authenticator app/time based tokens. Now with the new 2FA (via Authenticator App/Time-based codes), Dashlane also requires you to attach a phone number (in case you lose access to the Authenticator app). So I recently noticed in the settings that Dashlane introduced a new 2FA option via Authenticator app.ĭashlane always had some kind of 2FA because even before this option, you had to confirm any new device via another device (that is already logged in Dashlane) or via your E-Mail.
