While their claims strain credibility:
- "easiest way to enable two-factor authentication"
- "world’s most secure, private, and simple 2FA app"
- "We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to change, modify, add,
or remove portions of this Privacy Policy at any time,
without prior notice to you"
... 2FAS offers a browser extension
that can automagically paste
codes generated by their smartphone app after user interaction.
This maintains two-factor paradigm, unlike other 2FA browser plugins.
Not having to retype digits from smartphone into browser
is IMO a significant benefit.
- procedures are not so simple (IMO) as portrayed
- 2FAS revisions may have altered specific user interactions
- iOS version changes and general Apple-ness confound usage
- No idea how 2FAS works on Android;
synchronization between Android and iOS devices seems unlikely
IMO
- 2FA without a backup device is insane
- most smartphones are too large to pocket,
liable to being misplaced and lost.
- iPhone sync to iPad is possible via iCloud,
but problematic because iOS
- beyond 2FA keys sync, iOS app instances must be separately configured
- configure PIN, but NOT biometric
authentication on backup device,
in case need arises for someone else to use backup device.
