Okay, a lot of people have been asking "Do I have to have a Cell Phone in order to use Two Factor Authentication (2FA)?" The answer is a resounding NO YOU DON'T, and this video will show you how.

Very good info. Now I have a question. I have already set up Two Factor Authentication using a phone. I am also verified. Is there an easy way to change from the phone to WinAuth without starting over from scratch and losing my verification?
Yep. First login, then go to your Account page. Click on the link to Manage your 2FA and then choose to DISABLE it. Then, immediately go back to the account page and set it up again. It should take only a minute. 73, -fred
Another great two-factor authentication application is Authy. Works and syncs across multiple platforms (Windows, Android, and more). Check it out: https://authy.com/ 73, Rick - w2rmt
Looks like I'm out'ta luck. I don't run Windows and WinAuth seems to be written for Bill Gates enthusiasts. I found some authorization applications for LINUX but they appear to be directed at authenticating users on a server system - probably running APACHE? Oh well. No phone - no Windows - no service.
Q. If WinAuth is setup, and I disable it until I may want to buy or sell something ..is it okay to close WinAuth? Does it appear somewhere else so you can open it, when you want to buy or sell? Q. If I do this on a Windows tablet and I have it disabled, then use my iPad Mini 2, then I use the ordinary QRZ Login until I want to use WinAuth if I want to buy and sell? Is that it?
