Question:
I don't have a (business) smartphone on which I can install an authenticator app, nor a hardware-based TOTP generator. Can I also use a desktop app that you install in Windows? If so, are there any recommendations here?
Answer:
For security reasons, we strongly recommend using a second device. This is to protect your data!
If this is not possible for certain reasons, suitable IT measures on your part should ensure that a simultaneous compromise of both factors can be ruled out as best as possible.
A Windows app can then also be used as the authenticator app. Authentication at the transfer portal was successfully tested with the WinAuth program, the Windows Store app 2fast and a Keepass plugin. However, it is very likely that other TOTP apps can also be used.
