Yeah, they overlap since I did whole hour (120 30-second codes). I didnā€™t know specific time, so itā€™s 2 pages, 3 hours, 42 minutes and 30 seconds.

    But why couldnā€™t you bring a phone where you were going, and why did you have to log into a strange device?

    What were you doing?

      High security stuff where anything electronic is a spy device until thoroughly proven otherwise. Youā€™re not going to get a specific answer unless OP is an idiot.

        Iā€™m going to brainstorm a few ideas because Iā€™m really curious about this. It sounds like an exciting life to live.

        Would these be examples of the following?

        • a job interview with a corporate or governmental organization demanding high secrecy where you still have to log into your job portal for some reason.
        • you are a consultant on a high security technical project and you are somehow allowed to access the regular internet on a device thatā€™s not your own and use some tools for which you have an account.

        These are the only things I can think of. For any regular job, I donā€™t understand why they wouldnā€™t just give you a hard token. One of those things that you put on a key ring, which shows you a time-based second factor string of numbers on a little LCD screen.

        I had one of those and I was not doing anything sensitive. I was just an environmental educator working for the state government and I had to use it to login to the state laptop to submit my time sheets.

        On the other hand, if they wonā€™t give you a hard token, because theyā€™re worried you might bring your own device that looks like a hard token and replicates their hard token except with additional spy hardware, Iā€™m not sure why they are allowing you to log into something on that laptop.

        Or if they do expect you to log into something on that laptop, I donā€™t understand why youā€™d have to come up with your own custom solution rather than them have some kind of system that everybody uses.

          I like the ideas here, so much so that I feel bad for giving you a disappointing answer: exam.

          No own electronic devices in the exam room. That included everything, phones, watches, calculators and they also specifically mentioned ā€œhearing aidā€ while giving out all instructions verbally.
          Perhaps if there was someone it applied to they wouldnā€™t butā€¦
          And I had to log into our system to take it, which uses TOTP 2FA. An odd situation. Since the only other thing from clothes being allowed was a pen and paper with password (if needed), here we are.

          But one real world example I heard from someone is no unapproved devices being brought into the server room.

          Sorry, nothing interesting going on in here.

            Thatā€™s exactly something a secret shadow government spy consultant agent would say.

            Thanks for sharing! So did everyone have to print out their time based authentication codes, or were there other 2fa options, or do some students just not have 2fa enabled?

            So fascinating, seriously.
