We are a group of hobbyists managing a mailing list. Mailchimp insists on SMS authentication to login now which has scuppered our plans to spread the workload.
Are there any free / cheap services that would receive a text messages and forward it by email to several people? If not, is there an alternative way to deal with this situation? We’re not necessarily attached to mail chimp but delivery is important.
Can you not use TOTP instead?
Sometimes you can enter a # for 2FA, then add another method, then remove the phone #.
The real purpose of the phone number is data collection.
The options they provide are SMS or Authenticator App. Does the latter count?
Yes, you can use Ente Auth as the authenticator app. You’ll have to copy the token and give it to your coworkers and they can put it in on their end as well.
Make sure to send securely though, this isn’t the kinda thing you want laid around somewhere, it’s a security key.
Thank you, this sounds promising.
Actually now that I think about it you could just all share the same Ente account.
That sounds even easier :)
Yes it is but also you should be using TOTP wherever you possibly can (which is most places these days), and you don’t want to share those with others.
