I hate smartphones and I have a flip phone under protest. SMS 2FA would be nice. Cheers.
Not even that, just save the picture with QR code and feed it to some tool like https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspxUnfortunately, you do need a smartphone to get the seed out of the QR code MA provides when setting up Entropia Pocket.
I'd be cautious about entering that qr code on a random site, it's essentially the keys to your 2FA, anyone with that QR code can generate your one time codes.Not even that, just save the picture with QR code and feed it to some tool like https://zxing.org/w/decode.jspx
The QR code doesn't contain any information about what service/site it belongs to, there is no way to figure it out even if someone tried to.I'd be cautious about entering that qr code on a random site, it's essentially the keys to your 2FA, anyone with that QR code can generate your one time codes.
Actually, this can be untrue. As I've learned from using yubikey authenticator for other sites I've found that the QR codes can contain descriptive text such as the site name and account name in addition to the 2FA key. Yubikey reads this extra info and adds it as the default description.The QR code doesn't contain any information about what service/site it belongs to, there is no way to figure it out even if someone tried to.
NoI would say "old farts" should atleast try adapt to technology. Get yourself a 40 pound smartphone and use it just for authorisation if you want to use flip phone for everything else.
Go back to playing scrabble with all the old farts then, these new fangled online games are not for you.I hate smartphones and I have a flip phone under protest. SMS 2FA would be nice. Cheers.
