This is not 2FA... it's bothering you with an email to login to your account. Two-Factor requires any two of these:

• Something you know (your username & password, check)
• Something you have (a software/hardware code generator, a Yubikey)
• Something you are (fingerprint, etc.)

Bio-metrics are far from perfect, and usually avoided in these situations - I'm just amazed you went through the effort to implement this "2 factor send you an email" when it's simple to implement the time-based solution that is used by Google and others. I've been waiting for a long time for you to add 2FA - and to have it implemented like this is insulting; I feel like you made a half-hearted attempt to placate me (and others that want 2FA).

 

Do it right, folks. Please.

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to announce that the 2FA update is out for Free, Pro and Team users (on-prem will follow tomorrow). We're looking forward to hearing back from you on the new 2FA options that we've introduced.

The web portal requiring 2FA when it times out is slowly going to make me rage

Also, why does the android application not throw a notification when 2FA is triggered, this should be easy to code in with Yes or No buttons in the status bar.

Thank you for the feedback. We do trigger 2FA notifications if you have enabled Push notifications on your Android device for the Pulseway app. Adding yes / no buttons in the notification is a great idea. We'll consider it for a future release, thanks!
