Ironical as it may be and as the author mentioned briefly in the article, "there is an app for that". Google provides an authentication app for at least Android and iOS.
I personally put my phone in "airplane mode" for the trip (still waiting for that market changing deal where you can travel easily across the globe and call/use data without being robbed by your provider) then use the authentication app. I also carry my authentication codes during the trip and they should be enough for even a longer trip, if not, I can generate new security codes during the trip using the security codes I already have with me.

- icebraining 15y agoAnd since they use a standard (RFC6238), there are third-party application that works with it too. I use a J2ME app on my Symbian phone.
- bburky 15y agoWhat J2ME app are you using? I ended up porting (really just copying one Java class) part of Google Authenticator to J2ME. It works, but isn't great. What're you using?
- icebraining 15y ago(Sorry for the late reply) I use an app from DS3: http://ds3global.com/index.php/en/news-a-events/news/97-securing-data-delivery-hassle-free http://ds3global.com/index.php/en/news-a-events/news/97-secu..., It's extremely simple, it just generates OTPs, nothing more.
