Thats the single reason I got a smart watch. Just to have my 2fa codes on my wrist instead of getting my phone out of my pocket (I'm using Authenticator+)

- koolba 8y agoAny specific recommendations for a smart watch exclusively for 2FA?
- minxomat 8y agoThere are probably better options. I'm using a Huawei watch first gen. Rock solid construction, awesome (always on) display, enough battery life, android wear 2, no proprietary strap bs. It's about 100 USD for B Stock.
- braythwayt 8y agoThis is not normally considered a “hacker-friendly” option, but I use an Apple Watch. The above-mentioned 1Password has a watch app, so by using it for my passwords and TOTP codes, I maximize my personal convenience.
- pimeys 8y agoPebbles are quite cheap and offer 7 days of battery. The company went bankrupt, but you can still use the devices with rebble. The Pebble 1 is about 40€ and the rare Pebble 2 about 120€.
- abawany 8y agoI learnt from this thread that my smart watch (Garmin Vivoactive HR) also has 2FA apps available for it (e.g. https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/c601e351-9fa8-4303-aead-441251559064 https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/c601e351-9fa8-4303-aead-4...). I love the watch (long battery life, tons of apps including one from the famous antirez, built-in GPS, etc.) so I am thrilled that I have 2FA options for it as well.
- mrb 8y agoWell, remember the entire point of U2F is to not be phishable. Authentication codes—and your smart watch—are phishable.
