Two Factor Authentication (2FA)

Different methods:

  • One Time Password (OTP) by SMS;
  • specific application on your smarthpone or watch;
  • Google Authenticator;
  • YubiKey (my choice);
  • and also backup codes.

With the YubiKey you will be able to:

  • to use the 2FA with services such as Google, GitLab, GitHub, Dropbox;
  • to generate One Time Password;
  • to unlock your smartphone;
  • to upload your GPG private key on it and then protect your passwords store (pass uses GPG for the encryption).
