Look for options in your device's App Store. Smartphones: Ubuntu Phone, Android, iOS, Blackberry and any other brand/OS for which an OATH-compatible application is available.These types of devices are supported right now: Ubuntu SSO supports any device or application that implements the OATH protocol (both counter- and time-based implementations work). It's also a great opportunity to print paper backups if you don't have any or have misplaced your existing set. You can always use your primary device if you don't have your backup device handy, but if that's the case, maybe it's a good opportunity to ensure you do have it and print a new one if not.Īdditionally, every few weeks, we'll show you a list of all the 2FA devices registered to your account, so you can keep things tidy and ensure all your devices (including your backup) are accounted for. This also allows us to confirm your backup is handy and current. Every few weeks we'll encourage you to try a code from your backup, as a rehearsal of what to do if your primary device is unavailable. Paper backup devices behave just like your primary device and you can use SSO codes from them at any time. Paper codes are easy to add, you can print them and have them stored somewhere secure (but handy) in case your main device gets lost, needs to be replaced, reflashed, etc. You MUST print or otherwise store in a safe yet handy place, this set paper codes in addition to your primary device. Select "Always" for "Require an authentication device", and click "Update".Īfter adding your primary device, a set of recovery/emergency codes (a "paper backup") will be generated and shown to you.Click "Add a new authentication device".Click the "Authentication Devices" tab.Log in to with your standard SSO account credentials.
