Bitstamp authenticator
asked 2017-05-05 21:09:59 +0300
Does anybody know how to to setup a dual authentication on Bitstamp (or other popular dual step auth sites) using a Sailfish OS phone? Do I have to rely on the native SailOTP or do I have to go for Androids Google authenticator or DUO mobile (both installable).
regards
You can do EVERYTHING!

Stupidly enough many online services can't spell out that they use TOTP or HOTP (just 2FA "app" or "Google Authenticator"). An exception is at least Kraken where they clearly list HOTP and TOTP 2FA. Everyone should realize it is in their own interest to spell out clearly which standard they are using. This helps and educates people about improving security.
