My company corporate card requires an app because it has an Authenticator to access the website. I tried the ole “but I only have a flip phone” and they said there was no other option. The bastards forced my hand.
- neuronflux 7mo agoSo they issued you a company provided phone for this work specific functionality?
- caminante 7mo agoYou haven't confirmed WHY they have a flip phone. If you're using a flip phone in this day and age, then it's not about the money.
- scorpionfeet 7mo agoYES! Immense waste of money. But I’m one out of hundreds that avoided a corporate iPhone for years. I hate it.
- graemep 7mo agoThere are authenticator extensions for web browsers.
- scorpionfeet 7mo agoUnapproved by the company.
- graemep 7mo agoSo its their device you are using? otherwise how to they know what authenticator you are using? Most use the same standard.
- integralid 7mo agoExcept Microsoft Authenticator. That's what my company uses and this is the only reason I ever use my work phone.
- scorpionfeet 7mo agoBank has its own Authenticator app. That’s how.
- account42 7mo agoDepends on the technology used - not everything is TOTP.
- antiframe 7mo agoWhy would the company only issue you a flip phone if the Authenticator the require doesn't run on it?
- integralid 7mo agoThe company didn't issue any phone. They want GP to install authenticator on their private phone and GP tried to softly refuse by lying (I think) they only own a flip phone. It didn't work.
