Mistaken 2FA warning.

I use Two-factor Authentication in Slack, but 1Password mistakenly says I have not enabled it.

Hello @rob_tracy,

Are you using 1Password to provide the one-time password for Slack or are you using another app to manage two-factor authentication?

If you are using another app to provide the one-time passwords, then you can add the 2FA tag to your Slack account entry in 1Password. Doing this will exclude that items from Watchtower.

Hope that helps!

Im using the Google Authenticator. to achieve 2FA. Maybe that's why 1 Password doesn't think I have 2FA?

KayJay

Yes, that would be exactly why! You can use the 2FA tag in your Slack entry in 1Password and then it will no longer show up as not having 2FA enabled.

Here is a screenshot of one of my accounts in 1Password with the 2FA tag added:

I hope that helps clear that up. You also have the ability to switch from using the Google Authenticator to using 1Password to provide the one-time passwords if you choose.

Have a great day!

Hi @rob_tracy!

As @KayJay correctly wrote, adding a 2FA tag to these items will have them removed from the Inactive 2FA list :)
Thank you @KayJay for your help once again!

I hope this helps and let us know if you have any questions!

@ag_ana no problem. I'm happy to help other 1Password customers as often as I can (trying to get hired actually)! I've been using the product for many, many years and couldn't live without it in my daily routine.
