Dear all,
As mentioned in
the guide of CERN 2FA setup, "Google Authenticator" as it comes with some
security drawbacks.
Then sync communication between endpoint and cloud is unencrypted and can be snooped on by adversaries.
The solution is to turn off the new syncing feature:
1. Open the Google Authenticator app on your device.
2. Tap on your profile photo in the top-right corner.
3. Select "Use without an account" from the menu options.
4. Tap "Continue" to confirm.
Cheers,
--Shuwei
