Document sites that support app-specific passwords #2604

Open

Description

App-specific passwords allow apps or devices to sign into a 2FA account without actually requiring the second authentication method.

For example, Betterment will generate a random 20-character password so a site like Mint can authenticate without needing the secondary Betterment code. Google, Apple, Microsoft, FastMail, Yahoo, Betterment, and others support app-specific passwords.

It would be great for this to be aggregated on https://twofactorauth.org instead of the currently required spelunking through FAQ and settings menus for every site.
