Any plans this weekend?

Yes it was nice but I dropped my handy from the top of a slide and now I can't access my workspace because I cannot do the 2 way authentication because it it broken :-(

Couple of days not billing won't kill you I'm sure. Just enjoy the time off.

It is my opinion that this is unacceptable. This technology is supposed to be making life easier not being a hindrance.

The technology works.
What you should be finding unacceptable is that you dropped your phone.
The technology makes life easier, but it doesn't prevent human error - dropping your phone.

If you went into the office, would you be able to connect? Is it just remote connections that you can't do because you dropped your phone?

Are you trying to tell me that you haven'nt had an accident before in your life?

Not really true. 2FA is a necessary hinderance to keep IT systems safe. The overall outcome is easier but there are still hoops to jump through. If you broke your phone you can't work for a few days. Seems perfectly acceptable to me.

No, I'm not saying that.
But when accidents happen, where it is not the technology's fault that it was dropped, then I don't blame the technology - unlike you.
Sometimes you have to accept responsibility for your actions and accidents.

it is my opinion that there should always be a back up way of doing things for when you cannot access the technology.

When I take flight I have boarding card on my handy but I always have paper print out copy to cover for the many eventualities that may occur.

With this MFA that doesn't seem to be an option and I don't find this acceptable.

Unlucky.

If it's important, and you are accident prone, then have a second phone as a backup. Otherwise, what would be your suggestion for a paper printout solution equivalent of your boarding pass?

What is your backup plan for if you break the computer you use to do your work on?
