I was recently reading my news, and came across something from Lastpass that is of interest. Apparently, they are now allowing a second factor of authentication to be added in case of your loss of phone or other isues that might make them use it.
LastPass now provides the flexibility to authenticate into the LastPass vault and configured single sign-on (SSO) applications with SMS passcode, voice
call or YubiKey.LastPass delivers both personal and business customers with the flexibility to authenticate into the LastPass vault using any cell phone or landline via voice call
and SMS passcode authentication. For LastPass customers who are not able to consistently use the Authenticator mobile applications, voice call and SMS
passcodes will now allow them to add secondary authentication on top of their LastPass vaults to ensure their credentials remain secure.In addition, LastPass is also releasing voice call, SMS passcodes, and YubiKey support for business customers accessing single sign-on applications configured
in LastPass. This provides additional options for LastPass users who may not want to use a hardware token to authenticate into their cloud applications.
There is a section for home and for other users too. It seems as though you can chose between what you want to use within your account, but on reviewing the article, I’m unclear on whether you select voice call for example and it disables the authenticator which I don’t necessarily want to do. If I were having trouble, and I couldn’t use the authenticator, than it could revert to voice or SMS, but it seems that I’m totally unclear on this, so just read the article: LastPass Now Offers the Flexibility to Authenticate Into the Vault & Single Sign-On Applications With SMS Passcode, Voice Call or YubiKey for all of the details that I have.
