Serious question: what if you don't have a mobile phone?
- axyjo 13y agoGoogle provides you access to one-time codes, if you wish.

- eli 13y agoThere's a compatible OTP app for nearly every OS. Ideally you'd be running it on a device that isn't the same as the one running your web browser, but you could just install e.g. a Windows OTP app and use that. Better than nothing.
- shirKahn 13y agoPersonally I use a phone, but I also own a TI Chronos programmable watch that has Google OTP support. The algorithm is fairly straightforward and does not require internet connectivity (through mathematical magic).
- freehunter 13y agoInteresting, I hadn't come across that watch before. How do you like it? Can you compare it to something like a Pebble: size, battery life, screen quality, etc?
