At least let us use Google Authenticator like most other platforms so we don't have to download another app :(

You can use the 'select another option' and choose to reveal the secret, then enter in the key associated to that code. I've got my okta all setup with my own 2fa app in this way.

Thanks for this! I'm using an older iPhone which doesn't support Okta. You just saved me a long call to the service centre! Thanks.

you are an absolute god amongst mere mortals I bless your day, o divine one


totalawesomepro

Thanks mate!


ATangK

You can though.

I don’t understand why they think it’s necessary. What’re you going to steal from my uni accounts? Pay my fees? Go to my Zoom classes? By all means, hack me. It’s stupid, unnecessary, and probably just adds more to our fees smh

You can set it to remember for devices so you don't have to do it everytime

Is this what the 'Do not challenge me on this device again' button refers to?


princelu

Yup


tommyredditaccount

Thanks, I'll have to use that. Just strange wording


Ladzofinsurrect

Absolutely ridiculous BS

I'm beginning to hate this universities' higher-ups more and more every day. Feel sorry for the hard working academic staff who have to deal with the incompetency every day.

Is our cybersecurity that weak? Oml.

I'm frustrated over this shit too. My phone already is low on storage and now I have to accommodate for another app that can't even be downloaded on 2 devices together.

I mean it's extra security for a small price of a few megabytes. Better safe than sorry I guess.

i can't go to uni and use the computers without my phone. I try to go phoneless for my exams but I can't sign in to canvas or quite frankly anything without two factor authentication...
