Great!

Very happy, now I can use my hardware key for two factor authentication.
-
Good to read no SMS is needed for new Webmail users.
I gonna try now my hardware tokens for authentication.
Yubikey 5 and Yubikey Blue works nice. -
It's working just fine with the security key Vivaldi sent me for Xmas
-
This is great news!
-
@pauloaguia It's the same for me...
-
Very good news to hear. It always sucks when there are people that take advantage of free services, but this seems like a good compromise.

Nice to see the introduction of App-passwords.
@Team_Vivaldi is there a grace-period on existing Mail/Calender access (transitioning to App-Passwords) to accept the main account-password-only credentials?
Did not find any mention, but I may have missed it… -
Great to hear you support TFA!
I just tried to activate this for my account, but it keeps telling me my password is incorrect when clicking on "Activate two factor authentication" in my profile.
I tried logging out and deleting my cookies. Login worked fine with the same password, however so far I'm unable to activate TFA
-
aaaaand activated. Great News!

Did not find any mention, but I may have missed it…This is entirely dependent on whether or not you have enabled 2FA for your account.
The moment you enable 2FA in your profile, your account password will stop working for login to mail and caldav, and you must use either an app password or OAuth. If you were (for some reason) to later disable 2FA, the account password would work as before.

@thomasp thanks, so works as expected.
Already adjusted my setup out of habit, but not sure how wide-spread this kind of disposition is.
-
I set the app password (it works), but I can't generate a second one or check the old one. I f I click at manage I get an error pageok, I had to sign out and in again
-
@jan-ripper We've made a fix. Could you please try again, see if you have more luck now?

Sad, my Nitrokey 3A fails to be added as Security Key
Key is detected, PIN can be set and key touched, but the does not show up on page which shows the added keys.Any user having same issue?
-
@DoctorG
I have a feeling that perhaps you clicked on the page before the dialog to give the new key a name appeared, thus cancelling the name giving action. The key should be added though.
Do you see it when you reload the page? -
@jane-n I will ask internally at this time.
