Proton Releases Free Two-Factor Authentication App

[CharlesShaw]

or maybe your credit card in your cell phone account expired and you didn't notice,

Thanks for that. I've just entered a calendar reminder to ensure I've updated that in a few years.

I like Apple Passwords too, but I keep my 2FA codes separate, just in case iCloud gets hacked and someone gets full access to my accounts.

For now, I'm sticking with SMS 2FA on my locked SIM while I do more research. But yes, I wouldn't want everything in the same app. But I'm also going to weigh the extra security against the possibility that the one I'd be locking out is myself. Adding another layer of security is also a layer of complication that must be managed.

Please tell me that you made it so your Messages notifications are not visible unless screen is unlocked?

(the number of people that allow those notifications on a locked phone is mind boggling; Apple should really change the default for notifications to be hidden unless successful Face ID.)

I believe that is the default.

Proton is a great company. I'll have to check this out! I dont think I'll switch from the two factor in Apple Passwords, Duo, or Microsoft Auth though. I would like to get rid of Duo so we'll see

Why would anyone use this when the passwords app exists?
