"If you're currently using our "alternate logins" system, you will need to migrate to the new system sometime in the next month. We will be removing all old-style "alternate logins" on 31st August."
What does this mean for the other types of alternate logins, such as OTP? |

Why do you keep changing things, is the extra security really needed or is it just to make it harder to use the old UI

Perhaps it's to drive another nail in the classic UI coffin.:D:D:D
' We are getting so many changes and I really don't like many of them so I am now about to try something else, but if I don't like it I have only lost $40 |

Glad you asked the question, I wasn't aware of FreeOTP. I've installed it on my Android devices. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hosted.freeotp |
Which Yubikey
I read the article on the new 2FA - I am looking at getting a yubikey specifically one with NFC - but I am confused about which one is appropriate. The article mentions the OLD yubikey and has a link to yubico which takes you to a page showing the NEW yubikeys
(The article also only gives a link to twitter to follow the discussion - and no mention of this forum) Anyway IŽd appreciate any assistance on this |

If you're buying a new YubiKey, they all support both mechanisms, and we recommend using the U2F mode because its more secure. |

password I can't remember (it's in my password manager, only accessible from my local computer) password I can remember that requires 2fa (totp on phone) password I can remember that requires an otp from a list I have printed out So now if I want to be able to login when I don't have my phone, I will have to change my password to something I can remember and disable 2FA? That doesn't sound "even more secure". |

The small number of users using these login types should be receiving an email about it. I'm not sure where that's at; I'll chase it up tomorrow. |

So, I just went ahead and disposed of the sheet and deleted the alternate login. The login methods now remaining in my account should map over OK, so I can take my time converting over these next few weeks. |
Will this affect Pobox users/accounts?
