Bitfinex blocks all withdrawals unless... TOPIC CLOSED - SOLUTION FOUND

[countryfree]

There used to be 3 ways to validate a withdrawal on Bitfinex.
SMS verification.
With a physical USB key U2F.
With google authenticator 2FA.

Bitfinex no longer supports SMS for confirmations, which I've been using for years. I hate google and I haven't used any google software for years, so I have no choice but to buy a Fido key, but I don't know where to find one, and I certainly won't get one today!

It means that for the coming days, I cannot withdraw any coin from my Bitfinex account!

What was wrong with SMS validation?
I was very happy with that.

You don't necessarily have to use Google's app for 2FA. You can use Authy instead. I find it to be much better since it allows you to backup your keys.

Authy?
Never heard of it.
Is it supported by Bitfinex? They only talk about google.

I don't know about Authy, but i've used winAuth in the past, and it worked like a charm to generate codes for google's 2FA Authentication

Well, thanks a lot. I didn't know there were other solutions besides the google one.
I'm closing this topic.
