    I have no smartphone and am unable to access any of my college resources or email from home because you need a security app for remote login. I’ve got in trouble a few times for it but idk what I’m supposed to do. I wasn’t able to access my Exam Timetable because of this and had to ask some friends when the exams were because my teachers didn’t know (somehow). It’s very annoying.

    Edit:

    It also took a few weeks of difficulty to get the free bus pass the college gives out as they only gave it out on the bus pass app, I have a card that you scan, I’ve never had any issues with the card and yet EVERY day people complain about the app not working as you need an internet connection (in an area with dodgy internet) for the app and the app is apparently not very good in other areas. I think people are starting to get jealous of my bus pass card.

      You could install an android emulator on your personal computer then run the authenticator from there.

        @toynbee @DeaDvey aren’t there authenticators that run on desktop browsers? Or does it have to be a specific one

          The OC said in a different comment that you must be on the college network to set it up.

          You don’t need to tag me, by the way; I get a notification if someone responds to me directly.

            sorry, I’m viewing this from mastodon so the setup’s different.

        The authenticator requires you to be in the college’s network to set it up for the first time and I don’t have a laptop.

          Ah, that does complicate matters. Good luck.
