 Okay, folks just a quick video for I just opened a ticket with zoom to speak to their support team about a second factor two factor authentication bug And I'm just doing this video to quickly demonstrate because I guess zoom is just getting so much usage at the moment on a worldwide basis because of coronavirus and it's in the news continuously because of the Zoom bombing which I discussed yesterday on my video on my screencast and now it's on a medium post as well So check out that But just quickly to firstly show people that there is two factor authentication now I'm recently upgraded to a pro account. So I'm not sure if it's a Exclusively a premium feature if it is then it should really be available I think for all users because two factor authentication is just such an important security Thing that you know, I enable it literally on every single online service. I use even though it's sometimes a bit of hassle I use I highly recommend aughty, which is a another one-time password generator. You don't do Google Authenticator is not the only one that you can use aughty is really excellent And it's has the added benefit of having a little Desktop client for Linux that I can just keep open. So I don't need to go back and forth to my phone every time I need to put in a one-time password. So it's here in zoom. It's in a kind of a weird place It's actually nested under the advanced Usually you find the 2FA option in settings or in profile settings This is where they have it when I'm recording this on the 2nd of April It's the fifth option one two three four five under advanced and that's under admin and then you enable sign in with two factor authentication and The QR code will appear and then you can go through the usual process of Adding that to your as I said your OTP one-time password generator So that's working nicely and I'm now This account is now protected by two-factor authentication So I'm just gonna sign out and just to demonstrate that it works It's not one of these it doesn't have the option to remember a lot of services, which I generally prefer They have that option to you know remember the device I guess it's based on an IP or on a cache or something like that This one doesn't so every single time even though I click on stay signed in you can see it's prompting for the OTP here, so that's working fine. Now. This is the this is Chrome on a Linux browser So I'm using the browser UI if I go if I open up the actual Linux in client. This is the latest client that they have So I am just going to Sign out if I can remember where to do that yet over here, so I'm going to click on log out So I'm logged in at the moment and if I click on log out and this is going to I'm going to bring the login dialogue back here same situas before keep me logged in sign in and As you can see since I'm able to factor authentication. I have not been prompted even once So that is the bug that the desktop client for Linux appears to not Be in sync with the 2FA system So hopefully hopefully zoom will push out an update in order that this book can be resolved because I think with the amount of Threats to the zoom at the moment and all that that it's something that people Want to stay on top of their or their security as much as possible, so and video
