Two Factor Authentication - but multiple mobile devices
My wife and I use TV13 to access each other's computers and attached devices, and I do maintenance on both from one machine. We'd like to add 2FA because - why not - for improved security. But we only use this one account. So that means our 2 instances of the mobile app need to generate the same 2FA key. Is that even possible? If not, what's the alternative?

Hi @GlenB
Thanks for your post.
I do not know for sure, but I think, it is not possible to use 2FA for one account from two different devices.
I really recommend to set up a separat account for your wife and share the groups(s) of your account with your wife.
With this, you have the same data in the accounts, but hasslefree and secure login plus you can chat with each other.
I hope this helps a bit,

I was wondering this too... It IS possible.
I had Google Generator TFA enabled on a Motorola device. I got a new Pixel and wanted to ADD a new authentication device.
I hope that helps.
That’s an interesting finding. Thanks for sharing with us
Best, Esther
