MFA authentication setups that don't support standard authenticator apps, like 1Password or Google Authenticator can burn.

Yes, Microsoft, I am looking at you.

Microsoft has its own authenticator app. Classic MS.

Not 100% sure what you mean.
Google authenticator and 1passwords are standards?why?do they follow some written standard?
For example in Ms authenticator app I can add Amazon and others. Can I add Google to the Ms authenticator app?

These apps don't support all methods
- HOTP or TOTP
- 30 secs or 60 sec
- sha1, sha256, sha512

@devRancid i only know 1 application that uses hotp in my vincinity: the second factor for my online banking and that is baked into my debit card

@dontbeevil Yes, those apps implement standards and can be used interchangeably. I've moved my accounts between them to test them out.

@B-Con also Ms authenticator app implements standard and can use different accounts, now the question is if you can add a Ms account to the other authenticators

@dontbeevil except for the notification you can use other authenticators with ms. My totp is in my keepass

Classic Steam. Fuck Steam.

@dontbeevil MS Authenticator can add other providers because other providers implement a standard.

Other authenticators can not implement MS auth because #justmicrosoftthings

I dont get it... Sure they have their own thing but I am still using googles authenticator for logging into ms so they arent locking anyone out?

@galena the default second factor is with the authenticator app, which displays an notification. This method is used by multiple applications/companies, but this has no standard that you can implement yourself.

its all stored plaintext at every major company. for the sake of three letter agencies.

you know I'm right.
