They also support VeriSign VIP (https://idprotect.verisign.com/mainmenu.v https://idprotect.verisign.com/mainmenu.v), which you could take mobile app - should be better than waiting for SMS. At least in theory as I cannot validate it, because 2FA is not available in Poland.
- therealmarv 12y agoThanks alot @prohor ! But it was quite complicated and hidden to activate it in German Paypal. But now it works. wohoo...
- prohor 12y agoGlad it worked. And this is what I don't get. I understand they may not want to distribute hardware tokens in some countries, support SMS, as it is a burden. But why don't they just allow me to activate an existing token?!
- dublinben 12y agoUnfortunately, there is no open source implementation of the VIP number generator. On the other hand, Google Authenticator is based on TOTP, and has several open source implementations. I don't want to run a separate, proprietary 2FA app for every single service, when they can all just use the standard set out in IETF rfc6238.
