Ask HN: How do you handle 2-Factor Auth accounts while traveling abroad?
I'm planning on traveling to Indonesia in a couple weeks and I won't be able to receive text messages while I'm there. So, I'm wondering how I should go about logging in to certain accounts (Gmail, bank, etc.) that have 2FA enabled.
Do you have any advice on how I should go about this while I'm abroad?

- Abundnce10 10y agoSweet! I'll use Google's Authenticator app. Thanks!
- tony-allan 10y agoOK, that's Google covered! What about other websites?
- smt88 10y agoIt's not just for Google. Google Authenticator works for any site that supports app-based 2FA. Please read the article I linked to.
