Support Authy or SMS 2FA Authentication

[Antonio]

Hey! I loved how you guys add 2FA for security measures but I personally do not want to download another authentication application on my phone/computer just to secure my account in-case something happens again. It's takes up too much space and room if I'm just going to use it for this one site.

Can you support Authy or even enable a SMS (text-message) 2FA Authentication on the forums. I use both methods on multiple other sites and will like my account to be more secured.

You can already use Authy with the existing 2FA feature -- go ahead and try!

We certainly don't have the resources to support an SMS service.

Oh thank you!

What I have in my settings does not support authy, only google which I don't want.

I've been using Authy myself. Just scan the QR code into Authy and it will work!

But it didn't work. I only see Google auth in setting.

It doesn't need to say Authy, you use the "Google" auth code. They are cross-compatible in most cases. This applies to most services. I am personally using 13 accounts on Authy right now and most of them do not "officially" support it.

But it's asking me to put the code after I have scanned it. Tried the 6 digit and didn't work.

Authy doesn't work with this. I scan the qr code, did the thing, and tried entering the 6 digit code (XXX XXX) which didn't work.

 

[Antonio]

I am going to bump this up cause I am still having a problem with authy.

 

[Justin]

I was able to set it up on Authy myself with no problem, and have been able to with other websites that only officially used Google. I don't know what else to say beyond that. Of course it's only officially supported with Google.

How did you set it up exactly? I scanned the QR code on my mobile device and then enter the code 6 digit code (XXX XXX) and it says invalid code.

I'm going to bump this up. Still want to secure my account.
