Very cool! Is there also a way for teammates to share authenticator-based 2FA codes? Seems like there's been a shift in the industry away from SMS for 2FA due to security concerns, most recently at Twitter: https://blog.twitter.com/en_us/topics/product/2023/an-update...

Currently there is no way to share authenticator-based 2FA codes, happy to discuss further if this is an issue you'd like to be solved.

There is definitely a shift in the industry to move away from SMS for 2FA, but unfortunately people still use SMS and not all services support authenticator codes, which is still a problem.

Done this many years ago via Automate ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.a... ) and an Android phone left alone in the office. Also useful as an internal pager via call redirects.

That's great! SMS to Slack makes it easy for less technical folks to have a similar setup. Also cheaper than a monthly mobile service subscription.

That is subjective and region dependent.

$5 buys you a decent mobile subscription in Hungary (for this use-case). Setting up Automate is just graph editing. It is not much easier to add apps to Slack itself.

Wish you the best of luck with the service though, there may be a need for this by non-technical people or in other regions.

That's a good point! I was thinking about US-centric solutions.

Thank you for contributing to the conversation!

We use 1Password, which supports one time password generation, and you can use shared vaults to share credentials.
