@DoctorG
Thanks again. I'm coming off of a career in high technology in both the broadcast and medical fields as an engineer. Much of it was cutting edge IT in both fields. I was also a commercial pilot and flight instructor. I turn 70 this year, and sadly, even the simplest of devices have become complex to me. Even a two mile trip to the store sometimes turns into an "I'm so lost" adventure. The golden year are really not so "golden" after all. Stay young DoctorG!

You'll want to define app passwords for Mail (and Calendar?)
See more details at the help pages: https://help.vivaldi.com/services/account/two-factor-authentication/

Thanks! The instructions on the help page sound more complicated than it is. Basically, you just need to replace the vivaldi account password with the new generated app password in the apps that you use. In my case Thunderbird and K-9 Mail. Every app needs its own generated app-password. That's it.

I'm unable to activate 2FA. I can log into my account with no problem (as evident by me being able to post this), but when I enter my password to verify my identity after clicking on the button to enable 2FA, I'm told that my password is incorrect.

Have you heard of anyone else having this issue?

tonci.razmilic

@eric-chameroy Same for me. I haven't found solution .

DoctorG

@pauloaguia I added the key to the list of compatible hardware keys.

Vivaldi wasn't even on my radar until a little over a year ago and I have been nothing but impressed ever since. There are still a few things that Firefox does better or I would be a full time user. I genuinely appreciate all the hard work your team puts into your products. Thank you!

@tonci-razmilic @eric.chameroy @jan-ripper @Bononi-Gustavo Sorry about that, there was an issue on our end that should now be resolved. Could you please try again?

tonci.razmilic

@isak Taanks. It works now.

jan.ripper

@isak: Thanks, it's working now

@Team_Vivaldi After I set up 2FA, I now have an authentication error. I enter my username and password again and I still get the error message.

This is great news and I can't wait to have the access to Vivaldi Webmail!

Thanks for the webmail reputation system. That is a very clever way to do it. So, does this mean we can now create a second webmail account for business or other needs? It's a very good webmail when you don't need the other things that comes with others (like Fastmail).
