What really sucks about compulsory MFA in this case is that I manage Wyze accounts for several people, but they maintain ownership. I donāt want all of those accounts tethered to my number; Nor do I want to have to wait for those folks to send me codes when I need to log in as them. Emailed codes to multiple addresses should also be an optionā¦ even if it canāt be the same email as our Wyze login email.
Not at all interested in re-working every single gol-dang cam to home on my account eitherā¦ 
Also meant to add here that thereās always a balance between security & usability. It should ultimately be up to end users just how far they wanna take things.
Alternatives to forcing MFA would be requiring longer & more complex passwords, periodic forced password changes, etc. for folks who choose to opt-out. I would also have no problem consenting to and acknowledging a āhigher riskā waiver, or something along those lines, in the event my account gets compromised.

You donāt need them to send you the code. Use an Authenticator app (or have them set it up) and share that particular code. I donāt know about others, but Google Authenticator makes that VERY easy.

Yay, they went the sane route. Just a friendly reminder that the feature exists, just opt in, not required (?). Thanks peep.

Iām fine and having no issues with the Wyze 2FA feature based on a my phone number. Since the cameras are used to evaluate my home interior and surroundingsā¦and I know how relatively simple it can be to āeavesdropā on them, having 2FA is an added layer I can easily accommodate
OTOH, a group like that might not be as looped in to pending developments as Iād imagine. It would depend on the company constitution and the will of the founding fathers I suppose. 
The guy on the far right has a youtube channel where he and his little daughter sing together. Sheās real cute. Thatās where I first learned about Wyze cams.
Yep, touching to see a dad and daughter interacting musically.

I got the email a few days ago saying, " we noticed you donāt have two-factor enabled" and how to turn it on. However, I do have two-factor on and have since soon after it was available.
Interesting. I never got the message @peepeep reported to my regular Wyze e-mail address. But today I did receive it to a secondary address (that Iād forgotten Iād used) that I must have used for camera sharing at some point.
Anyway, so for so good, all opt-inā¦
Nice job!
