Lodestone Update re software tokens and authenticators

[Valkyrie_Lenneth]

Changed my phone three times, never an issue Never even had to uncouple the account to do it. Why would the App Store list SE as the developer if some other company developed it?
Not trying to start an argument, just trying to understand what relying on Google on MS gives them? Reduced maintenance cost on a lightweight Rng generator? Is the cost of that software more than the contract to have Google and MS do that work?
It’s baffling.

Because SE published it on the app store. That just means they presented it to the store, not that they developed it.



And why pay for a company to maintain one when there are a dozen open source or free otp apps?

And personally for me I prefer the MS app because it requires authentication before you can get the code. The software token from SE always glitched out on me.
