Randall Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Where is this? I don't see it. And wouldn't this nullify the reason for having authentication in the first place? 1 Quote
Abby Normal Posted February 2 Author Report Posted February 2 At the bottom of the pop up where you enter the authentication code, and yes it does nullify the reason to have it. My guess is that the support calls about it were overwhelming the support team, so they said, screw it, and caved. 1 1 Quote

A day, a week, the rest of tax season, until you have to change your password? Tom Longview, TX 2 Quote

BTS Posted February 3 Report Posted February 3 I wouldn't think they would change it. Other software vendors let you decide what security you want to use. Proseries does and Drake. Its up to the preparer to meet IRS requirements. 2 Quote

Lion EA Posted February 4 Report Posted February 4 I use ProSystem fx, just had an update Sunday, but do NOT have an option to keep me authenticated. I need my iPhone stuck to my wrist like that thing the quarterbacks wear! 1 Quote
orst88 Posted February 5 Report Posted February 5 No you don't. Desktop authenticators are available. I found a simple desktop authenticator called Authme. Authme is a simple, cross-platform two-factor (2FA) authenticator app for desktop. It allows you to manage your 2FA codes directly from your computer, making it convenient to access and use them without needing your phone. I entered: https://authme.levminer.com into my desktop browser search bar and downloaded. It even placed a shortcut on the desktop! Once open, I clicked on the import icon, then the ‘Setup a key’ button. Required 2 entries: Name (ATX 2024 or such), and the long alphanumeric value which is associated with the authentication QR Code (the third field for email address is optional) Click ‘Confirm”. Done!!!! 2 Quote
