2 Factor authentication/ EE web portal - Quiet roll out?

354- — Sat, 04 May 2024 12:14:07 GMT

I presume this is new, just noticed this, not sure if I should attempt this? Has anyone else tried yet? Apparently, no going back allowed?

Any more information about this from EE?

Hi @354-

Yes, this is relatively new. Within the last couple of weeks.

@Christopher_G - Good to know! Actually I managed to find a help page too; https://ee.co.uk/help/profile/registration-setup/account-authentication

Though I can't find the same functional button to attempt the registration, in the MyEE app, 5.36; Android 14. (Navigating to user silhouette icon and navigating into each option)

I just saw this now. I wont be implementing it. I would if it was OATH or FIDO2 though.

Damn shame thay didnt use OATH (very easy to implement), or better still jump to FIDO2 passkey and ditch passwords and 2fa codes altogether.

SMS for 2fa is inconvenient and no longer considered secure.
