What to use

Post by Ted Myers »

If you had the choice, what would you use first. A Passkey or Authenticator App?
If it wasn't for bad luck I'd have NO luck at all.

I would probably use a long complex password and an authenticator app (plus a password manager)

Thanks folks, I use Google Authenticator, and LastPass to generate a 20 character password.

24 characters not bad at all. In my passwords I tend to omit o 0 i 1 l it makes for safer manual inserting them in my Android Smartphone. Tried to setup copy & paste but failed miserably.
My version 10 oppo smartphone is programmed to do backups but never done any yet. My brother will help eventually.
