[QUOTE="beginner-mt, post: 1044117, member: 77259"] [JUSTIFY] Hello everyone As usual, I'm out of my depth. I don't want to use biometrics I've taken the plunge, and installed a 2FA authenticator on an Android smartphone. My question is about the authenticator's main password. Do you recommend I type such mile-long password in, by hand, myself?? Or do you think it would be much safer to install, on such smartphone, a password-manager?? But, thinking about its risk of being compromised, I'm not sure (security-wise) about installing a password-manager on an Android smartphone. Any suggestion?? In advance, thank you very much for your help Christian [/JUSTIFY] [/QUOTE]
