@aweiss thanks! Mostly using the iOS app, and it’s kind of hidden!

@aweiss Thanks for the reminder! I set up my account yesterday and now have set up two-factor authentication.

@aweiss Does not seem to be a thing on Tusky at the moment. Is your picture from web?

@aweiss thank you!
There's gonna be quite a learning curve, I think!

@aweiss I use the site on a web browser on my phone, and I don’t see an option to set up 2FA.

@aweiss I'd do it, if two-factor authentication didn't so frequently require text or QR code verification on the assumption that I have a smart phone.

@aweiss thanks for the heads up, whilst my yubikey rego didn't work I noticed device unlock (assume using webauthn?) and it worked great!

@aweiss thank you for the reminder, feel like I should have remembered to do that!

@aweiss good reminder! Just took care of that. Thanks.

@aweiss Recommend for the less technically inclined to use Authy app.

@aweiss I tried to do this using 2 separate authenticator apps but both times I got an error message asking if the device time and server time are correct?
New Mastodon user here. Can you suggest any help please? 🙏

@aweiss Are there any strong reasons to prefer one of the TOTP apps for this?

@aweiss isn't that an instance feature and not globally available?

@aweiss don't see it under account preferences. Using android app.

@aweiss Note: There is no Mastodon icon in Authy.

@aweiss Question: What's the need to use 2-factor auth?

@aweiss Always a must, for all apps! 👏

@aweiss can’t find this anywhere on my phone

@aweiss Took me a bit to look for the setting, but now it's done. I even saved the backup codes as a comment for my Mastodon login in LastPass.

@aweiss My mistake! Just found out that this is for people who have websites! Sorry!

@aweiss Now if only I could use my Yubikey...

@aweiss When you get home from the lake to discover you must've left your phone on the roof of the car, once you get it replaced you'll wish your MFA was just using SMS.

@aweiss thank you!

@aweiss

@aweiss immediately did it, didn't know it was an option! Thanks for spreading awareness!

@aweiss sorry to be dim… but how do I get to preferences?

(Newbie, be gentle)

@aweiss will do, thank you from Boston.

@aweiss Thank you! That was very helpful.

@aweiss thanks!

@aweiss I’m not sure the apps offer access to that function. Mastodon app does not.

@aweiss I keep getting error codes, even though I’m literally cutting and pasting the plain text (using the QR code sends me to my iPhone account settings, but the Mastodon app isn’t linked). Since I’m a verified Twitter user, I really appreciate the 2FA feature (I’ve literally had stalkers show up at my house and my acct hacked). Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but am open to learning. Thanks! #fedihelp
