Not sure which typical workplaces require smartphone use (I'm sure there are many), but indeed, in my case, I work either at the computer or in front of people or walking up and down while thinking :)
- MattGaiser 3y agoI would have thought any using 2FA for anything would essentially require it.
- derwiki 3y agoYubikey is a good alternative
- throw_pm23 3y agoI haven't yet encountered situations with mandatory 2FA, but indeed, this is the kind of thing I expect to become widespread, making it more and more difficult to those without a smartphone.
- ghaff 3y agoCompany TFA is less of a problem than other things as they’ll use a token rather than SMS and you can always use a hardware token. I have a soft token on my phone but it’s not required.
- arp242 3y agoNot really; very few 2FA methods are tied to a specific smartphone app.
- Semaphor 3y agoYou can use a YubiKey for 2FA, I think even for TOTP, but as I am a Smartphone user, I use my phone when only TOTP is available.
- gsich 3y agoYou can use TOTP on your PC too.
- vitro 3y agoYou can have TOTP as a browser extension. Not saying you should, just that there is a possibility. A bonus is easier backup of secrets so loosing your phone does not lock you out.
