I'm moving my dropbox account off a Mac and onto a linux machine. When I try and install dropbox, I get as far as entering my email/password and it asks me for the 6 digit code on the "authenticator". I have no authenticator app I have used with dropbox.
Dropbox support are being less than helpful. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening and how to get around it?
There are two types of multi-factor authentication that Dropbox uses. The first is referred to as two-step verification and it uses an authenticator app or hardware device. This is something that you would have set up on your own and doesn't get enabled automatically.
For some unfathomable reason, of all the authenticator apps we checked out, only Google Authenticator provides an option to export tokens that are already created in the app and import them on another device.
I just changed jobs and when i got my new laptop my Evernote worked great for 5 days. Then Friday it started asking me for my google authenticator code, which has not worked in years since I switched phones. Usually there is an option to send a code via text, that is gone. In the midst of trying to figure this out my password no longer works so I cannot login on the web. luckily my phone is still logged in but without the authenticator and password I cannot deactivate 2-step authentication to get access on my laptop. do I hold out for Evernote support or is there another option?
Once you have access to your account you will need to either disable 2FA or set up one of the many authenticator apps. Google works but many recommened Authy. You choose whichever you want assuming you want the extra security. Usually it works best to disable 2FA then reenable with your new authenticator.
Thank you for your recommendations agsteele. no I do not remember where I saved the google emergency codes. I went to google authenticator to get new codes and it gave me 10 of them, but they are all only 8 digit, not the 16 digit ones evernote is asking for. I cannot get to the security settings on my phone as it asks for the google authenticator info there as well. Now that I have tried this again, it has logged me out on my phone as well. So I now have no access. it was bound to happen.
Sophos User1175 you can opt out all AV stuff on the new app. Of course this is bad for companies that push the app to mobile devices and only need the authenticator. I don't understand why they put it all together. Probably to monetize it at a later day.
Hello everybody!
I hope this question wasn't answered before, but I have searched for quite some time and haven't found an answer yet.
I am wondering if the authenticator can also be translated in several version, since you are only able to upload one text file and one label for the authentication field.
I would be very happy if anyone has any advice.
Thank you!
Authenticators use two hooks, Authenticator.pre_spawn_start() andAuthenticator.post_spawn_stop(user, spawner)() to add pass additional state informationbetween the authenticator and a spawner. These hooks are typically used auth-relatedstartup, i.e. opening a PAM session, and auth-related cleanup, i.e. closing aPAM session.
I have enabled mfa otp and after the qr code is scanned the tenant name is shown in the authenticator app. I would like to change the title shown there. Is there an option how I can change that?
Thanks in advance,
SK
At first, I was confused, because the above example says to import DummyAuthenticator, then assign it - while the gihub page GitHub - jupyterhub/dummyauthenticator: A Dummy JupyterHub Authenticator to make testing easy says:
So the problem with running DummyAuthenticator for me was not due to the authenticator itself, it was due to finding an appropriate spawner that does not create new Unix system users. And the right spawner for me turned out to be not DockerSpawner (which, even if it does not create system users, requires presence of running Docker process) - but SimpleLocalProcessSpawner.
If you are an existing user of the Battle.net app simply tap the Authenticator option from the side menu and click Enable.
Don't have access to the previous device?
If you no longer have access to your old device, you will need to click "Can't Log In" on the login screen. If you have phone notifications set up you can verify your identity through SMS verification to remove the old authenticator from your account allowing you to set up the authenticator in the Battle.net Mobile App. If you are unable to verify your account through SMS you will need to contact customer support for assistance with removing your old authenticator.
Buyer made purchase on Dec 30th. I shipped and it arrived at the Hub Jan 5th. I've not noticed any updates since. It has only been 5 days in the hands of the authenticators, but that seems to be more than enough time to authenticate a graded card. I am worried if it continues to be delayed the buyer will take it out on me. I am not worried about the card being returned with claims of it being a fake as the card is from a booster box I purchased from Wizards of the Coast back in 1999-2000 and it has been in my collection always. IF there is a problem with the card it was a switcharoo by PSA or the authenticator. I have pictures of the card before it went to PSA, after PSA, before authenticator (probably 100 light box images... I do this to protect myself).

It is my problem if they decide to give me negative feedback for the delay. I hope eBay authenticators do not turn into a 15 days at the authenticator, 5 days shipping to, 5 days shipping out. That would be messy!
We have automated protections for sellers who send their items to the authenticator within their stated handling time. Once the item goes through inspection and is sent to the buyer, you are fully protected against any negative or neutral feedback. The Item Not Received cases will be removed from the Service Metrics dashboard before the next evaluation cycle. Should an Item Not Received case be closed and a refund issued to the buyer, you will not be responsible for that refund as long as eBay has tracking information confirming delivery to the authenticator, which can be found in the View Order Details.
When you make a sale, you have to send the item to the authenticator's address provided by eBay. Once the authenticator receives the item, the inspection is processed within 2 business days.
Once the authenticator confirms the item is consistent with the listing title, description, and images, they perform a physical authentication inspection. If the inspector cannot determine that the product is authentic, or if the product is not as described in the listing, the item will be returned to you and the buyer will receive their money back. If the item passes inspection, it will be shipped to the buyer with 2 day secure delivery. If the item passes inspection and is a trading card, it will be shipped to the buyer with 4 day secure delivery. Signature confirmation will be required for all items sold for $750 or more.
Yes, it was. It is currently with them now. I sold two cards that day, both went separately to the authenticator address(s) eBay gave me, for each, and they delivered and signed for. One has already been cleared and shipped to the new owner. I am still waiting on the other.
The FIDO2 (WebAuthn) authenticator lets users authenticate with a security key or a biometric method, such as a fingerprint or face recognition. FIDO2 (WebAuthn) follows the FIDO2 Web Authentication (WebAuthn) standard. After you enable this authenticator, users can select it when they sign in to Okta or use it for extra authentication.
This authenticator provides several optional features to help you manage your FIDO2 (WebAuthn) implementation. You can search a list of authenticators that Okta works with to plan equipment purchases and designate which ones are allowed in your org. You can also create groups of authenticators and use them in policies, manage passkeys, and enroll FIDO2 security keys as part of onboarding users.
Search the list of authenticators to see which ones you can use with Okta, their type, FIPS compliance status, and hardware protection status. This list helps you identify which ones are compatible with your environment, identify those that provide the protection features you require, and comply with security standards. This list is provided by the FIDO Metadata Service.
Okta enables you to create groups of Okta-recognized FIDO2 (WebAuthn) authenticators and use them in policies. This simplifies the task of requiring your users to authenticate with specific FIDO2 (WebAuthn) authenticators when you create policies.
Passkeys enable WebAuthn credentials to be backed up and synchronized across devices. Passkeys use the strong key-based/non-phishable authentication model of FIDO2 (WebAuthn). However, they don't have some enterprise security features, such as device-bound keys and attestations, which are available with some FIDO2 (WebAuthn) authenticators.
If you already have a certified authenticator and made modifications, or are trying to obtain a Derivative certification, please refer to our Certification Maintenance and Updates page for the correct process to follow. Otherwise, please follow the steps below for Authenticator Certification.
