- lucb1e 10y agoWhat is 2FV (two factor verification, I assume), is it another name for 2FA (two factor authentication)? If so, what kind of verification is it used for? In any case, thanks for responding here!
- atYevP 10y agoYo! Sorry, yes. To sign in to the web for Backblaze B2 you can choose to have 2FV enabled - though we require that you at least set up the phone to do this. 2FV is like 2FA except in our implementation, at the moment, the only 2nd factor is a phone. 2FA tends to have a few more options (like apps and such) but it's essentially the same thing.
- lucb1e 10y agoAlright, well, until it's possible to opt out of the phone number requirement, I'll probably not be using B2. Thanks again for the info!
