2FA by authenticator

I would like to change to authenticator instead of SMS for 2FA but I'm not able to. You only provide the QR code for the authenticator, not the corresponding number, but I can't scan the QR code with my PC. So please just add the number.

This is now implemented, you can copy paste the code instead of scanning the QR image.

I consider this a oversight as it is easily possible for the website to just display the number alongside QR since it was the base for the QR encoding anyway.

Herr Rossi: In the meantime, don't you have a old smartphone?

Reset phone
Install QR Reader App (No Auth App)
Disconnect WiFi
Enable AirPlane Mode
Read out QR Code
Reset phone

(My assumption is that you don't trust phone Auths such as google)

Nicolás el Calamari: My phone is from 2008. I don't use devices which are smarter than me! ;-)

Herr Rossi: Was just trying to help ;-)

Also: Ledger so get owned!

Herr Rossi

2FA is even more important now after the immense Ledger leak. I'd really like to get away from 2FA by SMS. Please add the authenticator number or a possibility for the use of a Yubikey.
