How does this look specifically with Google?
- cheald 15y agoTwo factor auth? You just go into your account settings, elect to turn it on, it'll have you install the Google Auth app on your phone and scan a QR code, which configures the app. Then, when you try to log into your account next, it'll ask for the code generated by the app. The authenticator itself is just HMAC-OTP with the seed as the current time quantitized to 30-second intervals. Very straightforward.
