Is it safe to store OTP tokens on the same device? Even if app is encrypted and locked with passcode?
minus-squareTibert@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 年前Well, the whole point of otp tokens/2fa, is to have a second login confirmation. Mostly on another device, like a phone. Now maybe if you store your 2fa way on the same device, but locked away with a strong password, it may work, and could be safe enough. But if it’s the same password as your device or another account, it isn’t that safe.
