[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 94943, post: 999850"] Hello, I am using both Sticky Password and Dashlane for different purposes. Now in Sticky Password, when you first install it on a new device, it send a PIN to your email to authenticate the new device. Now in the settings, there is an option to enable 2FA. If you do so, you need to enter OTP each time you open Sticky Password (even on an authenticated device). In Dashlane, you have the choice. Either you make it ask for OTP only for the first time you install it, or you make it ask for it each time you login to Dashlane. Now my question is, what does asking for OTP each time you access your password manager offer? What does it protect you against? For me it is very inconvenient, but if it is worth it, I will enable it. So what do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
