2FA via SMS to Two different cell phones
Consider someone who is frequently in two countries with a cell phone number for each one (because roaming charges are too high). How do they use 2FA with SMS under the new system?
|
In all cases I know of (not that many, actually), receiving SMS messages is free while roaming.

While I'm quite happy with the current Alternative Logins structure, I'm also looking forward to this new password system revamp. I know the FM folks have been planning and developing this new system for a while now, so great to see it's ready for launch.
@GeraldR: Maybe get a free Google Voice phone#. Incoming SMSs there you can set to forward to various destinations simultaneously. |
Google Voice can be forwarded to US numbers only

Additional security isn't really a requirement for me. I'm perfectly happy with the current authentication process so I'm hoping that this 2FA change is optional. That's not clear to me based on what I've read so far unless I've missed it.

Change is not always good but, on first reading, these seem like well thought out and excellent enhancements.
Will we able to use U2F to secure access to file storage? |

U2F and app-specific passwords are great advances in FM login security.
A post comparing U2F with the standard Yubikey OTP: http://www.emaildiscussions.com/show...7&postcount=24 Chrome supports U2F, Firefox does not. Sadly, Mozilla has yet to implement U2F support. Others might list other browsers that support U2F. Amazon links for U2F capable keys: Yubikey U2F only 18 USD Yubikey 4 40 USD Yubikey NEO 50 USD |
