If you don't enter a password, then it isn't two factor auth at all. It just swapping one-factor (something you know) for another (something you have).

- amenghra 10y agoif something you have requires a password, you still have two-factor. Kind of.
- pkaeding 10y agoRight, but in this case, it does not require a password. So it is not two-factor.
- tbomb 10y agoI know that it's not, I just said that I like it better than the two-factor auth that I use elsewhere. If I need to pull out my phone; its just easier to click my notification and click "approve", than to go to Authy to get the 6 digit code, and type it in to my computer.
- pkaeding 10y agoSorry, I misunderstood your statement. I thought you were comparing it to 2FA elsewhere. Now I see that you were just comparing it to the second factor elsewhere (not the whole 2FA0).
