MFA without a Cellphone

This is becoming a bigger issue more and more.  We cannot, as a company, require our Employees to use a personal cellphone to get text codes or install work apps to authenticate our work accounts.  ...

Well with the recent update I even have employees that have a smart phone but its not quite up to date enough to download the app, so they are also just out of luck? The fact that we purchased software, and this was rolled out after, is a joke.

acjohns1986 Seriously, buy one of the token2 token cards on amazon and give that a try.  It worked great for us.  It's like $40 and if it doesn't work you aren't out that much, but i'm pretty sure it will work.  That was our workaround for this type of situation.

    webapt  - go to amazon and look for - 

    Token2 miniOTP-2-i programmable Two-Factor Security Token with time sync

     

    these worked great for us.  Super easy.  You just have to get the token2 NFC burner app on your phone.  It basically reflashes the card to behave as an authenticator app.
