Force two-factor verification if desired / trusted computer

astrodog73 · 8 Apr 2012, 10:21 PM

I would like to be able to force the use of two-factor ID for 'non-trusted' computers. Lastpass allow this, so that computers not on a trusted list must have password and yubikey for login....
Would this be possible to implement??

I'd like this too. I use Google Authentication on LastPass and would like to see that is a 2-factor solution for Fastmail.

I'd would like the definition of non-trusted computer to be:

1) I have not logged in from the computer in the past X days
2) if I have used it I chose the "public terminal" option on web login

I prefer Google authentication to Yubikey because it does not use a third party to perform the verification.

I specifically came to the Forum when I couldn't find anything on the Fastmail site about two-factor identification.

I would like to have this facility, as an option, and I would be happy to see the Gmail approach employed.

I also feel that, as a paid service, Fastmail should be leading, and not following, trends that improve email use.

Yubikey must be plugged it into a USB port - not something - I can always do. It also requires one to carry around a Yubikey. As most people have smart-phones nowadays, the Google option seems very sensible.

Why not use fastmail's SMS login, or a OTP list - you can carry the OTP list as a text file in your phone.... to me it seems safer than trusting google with authentication.....
