My guess is 2fa code apps. Why you ask? Because blizzard already did it. They use their own proprietary 2fa code generator app called battle net, so I have to use it. So after a few months/years of casually not using anything remotely connected with Mr. And Mrs. „Muttermilchknacker”

explanation(A word derived from the „Panzerknacker” series of comics where the same named group of idiotic bandits try to break open a gold vault full of money, which I use since the scandal where someone stole the lactation bottle of someone working at Activision)

, I finally decided to try Overwatch 2 again, and when I tried to use my login app to confirm my login, I found myself logged out. And when I tried to log in again, I had to use the Authenticator, which I was logged out of, to use my authenticator, in order to log into the authenticator, in order to use the authenticator, in order to log into my authenticator (I could keep going like this forever)

Every morning at work it's:

>Type in a password to Decrypt laptop drive

>Type in a password to Sign in to laptop account

>Type in a password to Sign into 1password

>Copy password for okta from 1pw

>Use fingerprint to Unlock my phone

>Type in 2FA code from my phone Google authenticator into okta

>Finally log into outlook

>Need to log into a system not behind SSO

>Type in a password to Re-unlock 1password

>Oopsie-poopsie phone died!

>Charge phone for 5 min so I can turn it on

>Type in phone password because you can't use biometrics after shutdown

>Open Google authenticator and get 2FA for system

>"Sorry your authentication attempt has timed out"

>Type in password to unlock 1password

>Copy password to system

>Type in 2FA code from phone

>Finally logged into system so I can do work

>Oh it's meeting time anyway

>Meeting is 30 mins

>After meeting get back to the tab with the system

>"You've been logged out due to inactivity"

I'd honestly rather drink a verification can.

And that's why I use a url on my desktop to a 2fa generator that also decodes it with the 2fa key as an argument. It's like a password sticky note on the monitor, but for 2fa haha.

I would like to know more about this magic URL and how to set it up

I've found two that work but one is playing up, just append your key where there is [KEY] and save the shortcut

https://totp.danhersam.com/?key=KEY

https://2fa.zone/2fa/KEY (broken but https://2fa.zone/ works)

Example: https://totp.danhersam.com/?key=7J64V3P3E77J3LKNUGSZ5QANTLRLTKVL
