I wrote the inquiry regarding to the use of Authenticator applications out there for any websites in internet. So, my post had nothing with 1P account authorizations. Surely, I have nothing to say with regard to that matter how hard is to break in 1P account.

I think there are two confusions with regard to my original post.ġ) the first is that (problably i didnt explain it well and there has been misunderstanding) that I didn't mention TOTP/2Fa auth with regard to 1P account.

Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. There is certainly an argument that there are other examples of TOTP-capable apps such as Yubico Authenticator, Google Authenticator, etc, and perhaps we could make it more clear that these are simply examples and not necessarily endorsements. Regardless of those points, we may look into revising that section of our guide. As far as recommendations go, we recommend storing all TOTP secrets in 1Password, and then only using a 3rd party authenticator for your 1Password account's TOTP secret (if enabled). The intention is just to list a few examples of the sorts of apps that can serve this purpose.

I wouldn't necessarily call the list of authenticator apps in our guide a 'recommendation,' though I do see how some may view it that way.

I've written more about this in the past, e.g. As I'm confident that nobody has either of those things, I don't need TOTP.

With 1Password, TOTP is only used to protect the device authorization process, for which someone also needs both your Master Password and Secret Key. So small in fact that I do not use it to protect my personal 1Password account.

TOTP is a very small component of what protects a 1Password account.

I've been consulting with our security team and I think there are two important points to be made here: Please, be professionals.Īnd thank you for bringing this to our attention. So, dear 1Password, please, don't recommend us "half-secure" and inprofessiona, ignorant apps. We have requested from Authy (years ago) and Authy has willingly ignored that request.

So, why you recommend us (people) the unsecure app? Why don't you think that among us might be some professional or worth-to-target person? or even if i were below an average Joe, why you ignore the fact that some of us need a REAL SECURITY, instead the offered "half-hackable" solutions? To say shortly, Authy, is SURELY UNRELIABLE and unsecure approach.

(how people can be forced to be on PC monitor during next 24 hours?) We have 24 hours to know about hacked SMS" and we can "react" in that time to avoid hacking. Instead, see what a funny thing they say: Moreover, the problem could have been somehow understandable, and if authy's developers haven't known about the "sms intercepting" topics (that would have been shame also), but the more problem is that they KNOW the problem, and they willingly don't cover this loophole. So, they are not worth to have, and people should instead leave them.

However, it's "majesty" and "famous" "security" software Authy, doesn't support disabling SMS from your account. And among them, turns out to be the Twilio with it's app Authy.Īs time goes, the technology and software advances and becomes affordable to average hacker, and interpreting SMS (which is unchanged and non-advanced technology from previous century) becomes EASIER to be hacked:Īuthy has the BUILT-IN base of login/registration/account-recovery using some methods, among them, the major one is the SMS code.Īll solid services (say google, facebook, lastpass, etc.) has a way to disable SMS account recovery/authorisation/one-time-codes, if you remove your phone number from account. They, who should be regarded as professionals, are considered as "secondary auditory".

However, some companies and application providers doesn't understand this fact, and just has a concern toward users to be all "an average Joe". To be sincere, the main auditory, it not people under an average Joe, but in most cases, people who care of their internet life, or in many cases, professionals, who try to defend themselves in most professional way.

Let's start with the goal - 1password, or any security systems, are mostly created for people who NEED security. On your page, you have Authy under recommended applications:
