Re: Beware Hotel WiFi said by AVD:said by cacroll:But "2 step verification" essentially uses one time passwords. You get the one time passwords using SMS, from your phone, when needed.
or carry the "one-time" pad with 12 passwords. Actually when you set it up they do give you a list of emergency one time use' codes to stash in case the normal channels are unavailable. Think they give you 12?
And as noted: It works with standard telephones, too. Basically it must be a phone number but they do either SMS or Voice. Mind you it is a 'they call you, you do not call them' so it must be a set, reliable number.
But given the system is open source, there are numerous non-Android/SMS based authenticator clients you can also use: »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Aut···entation

kudos:1 | they can call you, not smartphone required. I think the pad was 12, might be a few more, I'll check when home.

That's the one drawback with the house phone option - you have to register it in advance - so it's useless when you travel. That's where the burner cell phone is a necessity.
