![]() Instead, it's a policy set by the reseller, to limit their cost of providing a service that produces no direct revenue.īetcha the reason all devices and software that generate such codes are costly, is because the intellectual property is licensed under patent. The restriction that authorizes only one device at a time is not a technical barrier, and properly-authorizing more than one device at a time would not be a security hole (* see below). ![]() Super-terrific security like this easily gets not-used for personal accounts because it is prohibitively inconvenient. Does transferring the device authorization require more verification than was used for authorizing the first device?Īll this hassle is more reason for me to not-use this kind of scheme, unfortunately. In that case you have to call in to de-authorize the unavailable device, and authorize a different device. That one device is still a single point of failure that would prevent you from accessing your account if it became unavailable for any reason. It sounds like you can log in from any device, but the 2FA step of every login still requires the one device that is authorized to generate the one-time codes. I appreciate your help and your very excellent customer service □♥️□□ I have a very old iPhone and I’m considering purchasing a new one in the fairly near future… If I am limited to only having the VIP Symantec app on one device and choose to install the VIP Symantec app on my current phone, would I be able to transfer the app over to my new iPhone, when/if I buy one? That seems very counterproductive to me…I am hoping that I misinterpreted the information in front of me… Please clarify.
