2FA #2

Closed mxwlsavard closed 4 years ago

Hey Robert, thanks for this component! Is there any way to make it work with 2FA enabled? 🤔

degan6 commented 4 years ago

I had this problem as well, I got around it by creating another user on my Comcast account without 2fa.

robert-alfaro commented 4 years ago

I'm not sure this would work with 2FA because typically the way real integrations work...this would use an API with some authentication token. Since this is more of a scraper, I don't see this easily done (to my knowledge).

mxwlsavard commented 4 years ago

That’s understandable. Degan’s idea of a second user works as a workaround. Thanks again!

Closing this issue as I don't think it's going to happen. In the event anything changes, we can re-open.

@degan6 given that such a secondary account would be less secure by design, what is the lowest level of access that needs to be granted for it to be able to monitor bandwidth usage against the data cap?
