Thursday: Hackers are using OTP bots to get around #SMS and #TOTP authenticator codes. Make the switch to #FIDO U2F for maximum login security tuta.com/blog/2fa-tutanota-sup… 🔐

Update of your secure mail client: Tutanota adds 2FA support

We recommend U2F as the most secure version of two-factor authentication.

PSA: If you're still using #Raivo 2FA on iOS back up your data immediately and do not update to the latest version.

As we suspected would happen when they were acquired last year, the new owners of the app have pivoted to a forced subscription model and updating to the new version will delete all your TOTP codes! discuss.privacyguides.net/t/ps…

We recommend switching to Ente Auth, which can be used completely locally or with @ente's end-to-end encrypted cloud backups.

PSA: Export your keys before updating Raivo OTP to the latest 1.6 version

Be careful as you might lose all your keys if you update Raivo to the latest 1.6 version without backing up your keys before when not using an online sync.

"Push": Das klingt proprietär und fühlt sich für mich eh etwas gruselig an...

Solange aber ein "#TOTP: Time-Based One-Time Password Algorithm" gemäß #RFC6238 zum Einsatz kommt, sollte man das Verfahren mit jedem passenden Tool bestreiten können. Wozu gibt es offene Standards? 😉
