If you use an authentication app instead of SMS 2FA (which you should anyway), you don’t need cell service.
You can even have the authentication app on your laptop so you don’t need to switch devices (1Password at least supports this).
- rationalist 3y agoLots of services do not offer that ability, especially when signing up.
- sdoering 3y agoI have never had a problem with Authy in that regard. Yeah, I share my 2fa with every device and defy the purpose. I know. But if you have access to any of my devices I sm already compromised.

- ethanbond 3y agoSure, I was just pointing out a clarification for GP since a lot of people aren’t actually aware that you can use 2FA without an internet-connected device. Maybe they already knew it, maybe not.
- LilBytes 3y agoYep, banks are notorious for this. E.g., ING in Australia.
