  If you want to install software on my personal device with elevated privileges then I’ll just use a different service than you’re shitty low effort maintained trash.

    Company device of course. Like mentioned, in IT, I want nothing to do with users personal phones

      Oh hell yeah, then. At that point it’s just the company making their own apps to install on their own stuff.

  Re-writing a 6-digit code is easier than tapping a USB device?

    They’re talking about operationally. They don’t want to configure and distribute a bajillion dongles to users.

    Open an app, find the one number for your specific app among the bajillion you have, oh the timer is almost out and you forgot halfway through, tap back in the app, oh the fucking app scroll all the way to the top again.

      Open app via sidebar, search for website in search box, enter number once because I’m not super fucking slow at typing

    Often times, yes. I don’t want to always have to have a USB key on me, but I always have access to MFA apps via my phone, watch, or laptop. I have no idea why you’re typing the code out instead of copying and pasting.

    Pretty sure he’s talking about mfa that just asks for confirmation whether that’s you logging in on the phone. No typing required.

  App-based TOTP are not phishing resistant and do not require any level of proximity to the login session. The future is more likely passkeys that use device TPMs.

    Simple challenge number handles that, for example Azure AD MFA forces that today

      Those are better, but are also not phishing resistant.
