Hi Alan, this is why you should pick a solution like privacyIDEA where you can choose amongst or combine different authentication devices like the smartphone and OTP cards, which fit into the wallet or even devices where you can generate the secret key on yourself like the Yubikey or the eToken NG OTP. Thus you can decide which is the most reliable authenticator in this situation. Kind regards Cornelius Am Mittwoch, den 23.09.2015, 18:34 +0000 schrieb A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk:
Hi,
google authenticator doesn't fit in my wallet. I've always believed that the least likely item to be lost or misplaced by a user is their own wallet. Cell phones, not so much. A users wallet contains stuff that is far more important than a cell phone. Cell phones get lost, stolen far more often than wallets.
my wallet contains some cash and some bank cards (which can be cancelled and new ones provided within 24 hours....) . my phone, however, contains contacts, my means of contacting people, my 2 factor authentication stuff for online things and recent unbacked up photos of my loved ones. password protected and encrypted though.
I know which of those I look after more these days ;-)
