Google two-factor auth and iPhone apps? ...

Who here has enabled Google two-factor authentication? Did it break anything on your phone?
I tinkered with it yesterday, and then our family's shared Google calendar stopped working. My wife couldn't see new items I added (in either the iPhone calendar or Fantastical). I disabled TFA, and all was good again.
Reading Google TFA page talked about how to use an additional app on the phone to create some additional passwords, but it wasn't clear to me where I would use them.
I also use Mailbox for GMail, not sure what will happen to that.
Anyone here doing Google TFA? Any words of wisdom?
Thanks very much in advance,
Chris

I had to do this for yahoo after my account was hacked.
It's a little tricky but you can enter the codes into your settings and get the stock app to work.

Two factor auth for CRES portal

This is a wishlist of mine which I hope would get into the plans for future enhancements to CRES service. Some form(s) of two factor authentication for access to CRES service would be very useful. I'm thinking of a low overhead approach for both internal (within the org) and external users such as out-of-band SMS OTP or a software token app on the device generating OTP (as opposed to hardware based form factors).
Thanks,
John

This, and improving the registration experience for mobile users, are both on the CRES roadmap. For two-factor auth, although I can't commit to anything, I'd agree that some sort of out-of-band communication of a one time password, by SMS or an alternate email address for example, would be the preferred approach.

Need help with two-factor auth for windows logon using CSS

Hi all,
I have been trying for a couple of days now to get two-factor auth for windows logon working on my X1C Type 3443.
I am running Windows 7 (64-bit) with Lenovo System Update 5.06.0007, Lenovo Solution Center 2.6.001.00, ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software 5.9.9.7282, ThinkVantage Client Security Solution 8.30.0031.00. If it's of any importance, my X1C was originally shipped with Windows 8, but I couldn't stand it and reinstalled Windows 7 instead.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the above programs in the following order:
1) Install System Update and reboot
2) Install Solution Center and reboot
3) Install CSS and reboot
4) Install Fingerprint Software and reboot
Everything seems to be working fine by itself, except that when I try to configure two-factor auth in CSS, the Fingerprint tab (on the left of the GUI) is greyed out and CSS tells me that I have no fingerprints enrolled. The Fingerprint Software, however, is working just fine and shows me as having a fingerprint enrolled there.
I have spent all morning searching for a solution, but everything I find dates back to 2011, when ThinkPads still came with ThinkVantage Toolbox. I obviously can't download that anymore, so I'm at a loss. Can someone please help? Thanks!

Two factor auth tied together?

Hi all,
I have an irritating problem dealing with the physical security staff in my datacenter. We have a requirement for certain areas to have "two factor authentication", and they've provided badge readers and fingerprint scanners, and consider this requirement solved.
Unfortunately, the systems don't work together and you can use one person's badge, and someone else's fingerprint.
My experience (and common sense) says that two factor means YOUR badge needs to only work with YOUR fingerprint, but our physical security team doesn't see it that way.
They've asked for some sort of evidence that this is how it works... A government directive or other "proof" that they need to tie together.
I thought that it would be a quick Google search away, but it turns out to be more difficult than I thought! All the definitions seem to leave the "tie in" to the imagination! They all say "password and token" or "badge and bio" but never explicitly say that those devices need to tie to the person who is authenticating.
This seems like such a simple thing! Does anyone know of a document that clearly defines two factor as both factors required to be tied to the same person?

I agree that tying them together would be better security but you may lose this one.
In the bank card scenario, the unique item is the card, but the card and PIN can be used by anyone.
Your situation is different in that the unique item is the fingerprint (since any card will do, thank you) AND it is physically tied to a single person (lopped off fingers aside).
It's not as tight as it could be but it does qualify as two factor since you need both to enter.
Since John's finger is scanned, John entered.

I can't find musics or movies on Itunes store. There are just iPad and iPhone apps. No musics or movies. Just iPad and iPhone options

When I start the itunes store, there are two options on the screen: iPhone and iPad (iPad came set as default). So, when I search musics or movies, I can't find nothing, just some iPad and iPhone apps.
What can I do to find and buy musics and movies?
Sorry if this is a stupid question, I am new in the mac world.
Thanks for the attention.

Thanks so much! My grandaughters played games on the iPad over Xmas and one of their moms said shed restricted their access! Guess they forgot to enable again. Thank you again! Karla

II am looking for information on iPad and iPhone apps and Mac software that are "top of the line" for academic research. The most current and comprehensive information I have found is dated July 2010.

PogoPossum,
My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
Does this help?

No. If it states designed for both iPad and iPhone, then it won't run on an iPod touch.

How do I back up my tunes and iPhone Apps?

How do I back up my tunes and iPhone Apps?

Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

p.s. I don't know anything about the iPhone or the iPhone apps so I am not sure if they are stored in the same folder structure or not.

How can I get apps for my MacBook Air, iTunes only shows iPad and iPhone apps?

How do I get app's at iTunes for my PC - a MacBook Air? All I see are iPad and iPhone apps.

You don't.
Itunes doe snot sell any apps at a ll for your computer. ONLY for iphone, ipod touch, ipad.
You would have to go to the Mac App Store in order to find apps for your mac.

Using BOTH keyfile AND passphrase in dm-crypt. Two factor auth.

How can the following setup be achieved. BOTH (not either) keyfile and a passphrase should be used in order to decrypt a device. So keyfile will be read from an SD-card/FLASH drive on boot and passphrase will be requested. That way, somebody who wants to access the system has to have something and know something to have access. In other words, this will be a two-factor authentication system.
Ideally, multiple keyfiles and passphrases should be used. The reason is because if one keyfile A will be lost/stolen, then the slot can be killed and another keyfile B will be used as a back-up. Now if somebody have found the keyfile A and slot A was deleted, they can no longer use keyfile A, because it will be no longer valid. Multiple passphrases are there to ensure that if one is forgotten another can be used as a back-up.
Is it possible and how should I approach this? The wiki seems to be focusing on one factor authentication systems (where only a keyphrase OR a passphrase is used to decrypt the drive, while in this case BOTH a keyfile and a passphrase should be required).

I did not try it by myself but it reads like what you want to achieve:

Apple ID - Two Factor Authentication (and why I stopped using it)

The Apple devices I use every day consist of the following:
2009 MacBook Pro 17" (home)
iPhone 6 (home)
2012 MacBook Pro Retina (work)
My home devices are all logged in using my Apple ID as usual, and my work laptop uses a Apple ID specific to work, but with my personal Apple ID logged in for iMessage and FaceTime (pretty standard, I presume, for people with full-time work laptops they can bring home, etc.). Now, since I have multiple devices which are constantly syncing everything back and forth, whether it be something as simple as my contacts or as delicate and near and dear to my heart as my photo collection, I felt that maybe I should use two factor authentication for my home Apple ID, just to be on the safe side. I recognize that the two factor authentication only protects iMessage and FaceTime currently, but I implemented it with hopes that someday they will incorporate everything about iCloud and other services synced between Apple devices that you would assume should be covered by a two factor authentication update/overhaul.
I liked this idea very much, as I use two factor for almost everything I can, but things started to fall apart one day when I had to switch to a temporary work laptop and decided to log in to iMessage with a new app specific password, as you would need to on a new device (unless you wrote down the original iMessage password, which is a terrible thing to do). When I went to create my new iMessage password for work laptop B, I decided to revoke work laptop A's iMessage password while it went in for repairs. This wasn't so bad until something seemed funny about my phone, as it was asking for me to log into iMessage again. Now, I had created a separate password for work laptop A's iMessage when I first logged in a while back, as well as a separate password for the temporary work laptop B so it didn't interfere with my other generated passwords. Apparently this didn't matter.
I continued and created a new app password for my phone, but when I got home, wouldn't you know it, I had to log into iMessage on my home laptop again as well. I had to create a new password for that, which seemed to work for a while, but then I was prompted to enter my iMessage password on my phone again once I revoked my home laptop's iMessage password. Not following? No, me either. It seemed to me that creating separate app specific passwords for me to use across my devices didn't stay as separate as I thought they should, but instead they somehow seemed to be dependent on one another. Since I had a frustrating time trying to activate iMessage again on my iPhone and laptops on multiple occasions while this was happening, I decided to disable two factor authentication altogether.
I suppose I should ask a question here, so here goes: has anyone else encountered this horrific two factor authentication/app specific password management issue for their own account? Have you been able to resolve it, and if so, any helpful suggestions? Thanks!

I had also thought that initially, but after turning it on, I went to sign into iMessage with my Apple ID and regular Apple ID password, but it prompted me to create an app specific password to sign in since I had two factor authentication on, as it wouldn't let me use my regular Apple ID password to log in (which I could use to log in for everything else but iMessage and FaceTime). It was nice since I was prompted to provide a code sent to an Apple device of my choosing when signing into the Apple ID management site or iCloud.com, but forcing me to create app specific passwords for iMessage and FaceTime is kind of ridiculous and frustrating. Maybe there's a way to have two factor authentication without the need for app specific passwords? Or if not, then perhaps that would be a great option to present users when turning that feature on.

Having trouble with Google 2 factor authentication and Mac Calendar

Hello! I recently started using Google 2-factor authentication on my Google Apps (Pro) account, and have successfully configured my gmail settings in OS X Mail so that inbound/outbound work correctly. Here's where the problem is: OS X uses a single password in the system account settings for calendar/contacts/notes, etc, so enter the login/password once and check the boxes for what services you want to use. But Google sees these as distinctly different apps, so when I enter an app-specific password, it only registers for one (i.e.: contacts), but not for another or the rest of them (like calendar). Has anyone had experience in setting this up? How can you get app-specific passwords to work with the rest of the OS X system applications besides mail?
Thank you!

Unfortunately, I already tried this several times prior to posting here. The system won't let me add the same account more than once, and continues to prompt me for a password multiple times for each service.

Is there any API for connecting web server and iphone apps

Hi,
I have to retrieve data from Web Server and display in my iphone apps. I want to know that is there any API through which i can connect my apps to server and get data.
One way i know that use NSURLConnection and get XML response and prase it and use it like that.
So anyone know this?
Thanks.

NSURLConnection is straightforward to use. In the mobile world, and especially if you intend to use certain google APIs, I would rather tend to use JSON instead of XML. A great JSON parser for objective-c is here: http://code.google.com/p/json-framework/

How reset/refresh list "my apps" to my iphone ?
(Sorry for my english ;))
Ty,

I was just looking at this again and noticed something strange.
Under the iCloud section of the Settings on my iPad, I don't have a "Documents and Data" option. Essentially, every time I use a program that wants to access iCloud for documents, that program's individual settings are reset to not use iCloud.
Any thoughts?
Thanks again for any help.
