Title: Two-Factor Verification! Post by: Katrina Elisse Caudle on March 01, 2013, 10:03:44 PM Hey folks!
I was wondering if anyone has had an problems with the Google two-factor verification? I set one up for my Blockchain account and it worked great for a few days. Then, suddenly it stopped working saying the number was incorrect. I ended up removing the two-factor with little difficulty using Blockchain's system but I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else? Title: Re: Two-Factor Verification!

The only time I have seen an issue like that is when the smartphone's time gets out of sync.

Some smart cookie (Me!) accidentally set 2 factor on and didn't save the secret key before it disappeared. Luckily I got my account re-set. Title: Re: Two-Factor Verification! Post by: Marvalo on March 02, 2013, 02:39:57 AM To re-sync it, just go into your mobile's setting and make sure it's set to automatically update the time (from an internet server). That should fix any time delay problems.

Post by: behindtext on March 02, 2013, 10:41:46 PM i wouldn't recommend using "2-factor" auth if it doesn't use a device that is not your phone.
a yubikey is ideal for cheap 2nd factor. |
