I've discovered one of my favorite new things...

Steve Klassen

It took a little while to grow on me, however, having to get a text code multiple times a day, to be able to log into SOPHOS Central on my own computer is just delightful. I didn't think I'd like it at first, however, now I find myself wishing that I could be required to enter a text code every time I send an email, or do a google search. I see no reason that other 2FA systems let you trust a device so you don't need to get a text so often. They are only causing their customers to miss out on the pure joy of waiting for that text to ding in on their phone...

Just bliss!

    2FA via text message is more secure than nothing, but less secure than any other 2FA. 2FA that trusts your browser indefinitely because you once answered a single question correctly is maybe more or less secure than that. Sophos Central holds the keys to potentially hundreds of security devices that you are trusted to manage.

    Why not just stay logged in to Sophos Central indefinitely? I don't think it times out, and that's probably just as secure -- and faster, since that's what matters most -- than a cookie.
