Scan a QR Code at participating organizations such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, and more to generate a security code every 30 seconds to securely sign in. You can generate a security code even if you do not have a network or mobile connection. The strong authentication method you use depends on the method implemented by your participating organization. Note: Touch ID or Face ID authentication requires that your mobile device is Touch ID or Face ID capable and that you have registered a fingerprint or facial recognition authentication on the device. Use Touch ID, Face ID, or Passcode in a push notification to authenticate yourself on your mobile device.The challenge number proves that you are physical present during authentication. Enter a challenge number on your mobile device that you receive during authentication.If your organization requires you to define an additional device authentication mechanism to meet the security requirements, you will be prompted for the additional local authentication such as passphrases or biometrics. Kudos to Symantec for saving as much money as possible for a security application!!!**update: given how *hit this app is, I’ll be turning off my 2FA for E*Trade so I NEVER EVER have to use this app again. As with most things, it seems Symantec spent the lowest amount they could and as with most other things, you get what you pay for. Maybe I shouldn’t expect billion-dollar companies to produce software that functions properly and is easy to use. The number of other poor ratings indicate that I’m not alone in my feelings about this app. Not being able to effectively link accounts, copy the OTP, or set up the app with a new phone is, well, absurd. I’m bringing that up because it’s simple RIDICULOUS that a company with significant enough resources to reach a 10+ billion dollar valuation (and one that supposedly focuses on digital security!) could produce an app that functions so poorly. One entry I found for Symantec’s valuation is 10.7 Billion.
