  • I'd need to go through 2FA to be able to sign out of all devices, and obviously my primary device for 2FA would be the stolen phone. So realistically I wouldn't be able to do that until I got home which could be a while.

    @branwen erm, maybe? I tried googling token based login gmail but that didn't throw much up.

    Password manager and 2FA apps both have biometrics to open and that's fine for me. Would just like the same with gmail.

  • You used to be able to generate some access codes if you lost your phone/2FA device. Is this still a thing? I used to have a set in my cycling wallet for ultras but I've not had to use them.

    Another option is shared MFA device, ie. if you use Authy, you can have a backup of it on a second device (partner's or spare phone).

  • I think so but then I'd need to carry the codes round. I have 2FA on another device but if my phone gets nicked it could be a while before I get home to get my hands on that. 2FA on girlfriend's phone and hope I'm with her I suppose.

    Just seems so obvious to have an option to protect email.
