I really wish domain registers offered a Google Authenticator option for 2FA. All of the ones I have seen that offer 2FA are SMS based.

- ams6110 10y agoSMS is far better than nothing. Your average script kiddie is not going to be able to intercept your SMS messages. If you are specifically targeted by sophisticated attackers, maybe.
- seccess 10y agoMy biggest gripe with SMS 2FA is that it is prone to locking me out of my accounts on travel, if I suddenly need to log in to something and my phone number isn't the same abroad.

- whyagaindavid 10y agois it such a pain taking a small burner phone? Alternately, you can install 2FA app in your smartphone. And if you traven that frequently you need to revisit your security choices. There is no security without any efforts from _you_. Google/MS/Apple can only do so much.
- CodeWriter23 10y agoThey'll just social engineer your carrier into the transfer of your phone number to a different SIM card
- whyagaindavid 10y agoIs it only me who is surprised that in the US no one has the notion of buying pre-paid SIM cards - which are unconnected to your SSN or credit card or bank account?
- jonas21 10y agohttps://www.name.com https://www.name.com lets you use Google Authenticator for 2FA.
- emusan 10y agohttps://www.gandi.net/ https://www.gandi.net/ does as well and has been pretty great in my (somewhat limited) experience.
- Curnee 10y agohttp://www.namecheap.com http://www.namecheap.com offers their own 2fa service, as well.
- bubblethink 10y agoYeah, that's the point. Everyone tries to re-invent 2FA or use SMS, both of which are bad for the end user. Even 2FA companies like Duo use some non-standard protocol which only their client can implement.
- sverige 10y agohttps://www.dynadot.com https://www.dynadot.com offers both Google 2fA and SMS, with a big push toward the Google solution. Dynadot has been a great all-around solution in my experience. Gandi is also excellent.
- Veratyr 10y agoOf my registrars, Namecheap does not but Gandi.net and Hover.com both offer the standard TOTP option.
- epc 10y agoPairNIC (https://pairnic.com https://pairnic.com) now offer TOTP 2FA (use Google Authenticator or whatever else you want).
- altano 10y agowww.nearlyfreespeech.net (mainly a host but you can register domains with them) offers Google Authenticator 2fa and control over what recovery options are allowed, including none, which is something I wish anyone that supports 2fa would offer.
- j_s 10y agoJust another happy customer giving those guys a big thumbs-up!
- orthecreedence 10y agoNFS also emails you if someone tries an incorrect password on your account. Kind of a nice feature.
- dvdhnt 10y agoname.com offers a choice between Google Authenticator and SMS for 2FA.
- pm24601 10y agositeground.com
- james_pm 10y agohover.com offers both SMS and TOTP (authenticator).
- samch 10y agoI use Google: https://domains.google.com https://domains.google.com
- vmp 10y agoIf only it were available in Germany. :(
- stevekemp 10y agoAmazon does ..
- meej 10y agoHover supports 2FA with authenticator apps.
