two factor security

Good evening,

As a new Garmin user and a first smart-watch user I'm very happy with the services you provide.

It took me some time selecting my watch and whom I wanted to trust keeping my health stats with.

I am however missing some very important security options.

It would be great if you could add the possibility of adding two factor security by use of an OTP app like google authenticator.

Is this something you could consider adding?

Kind regards,

An otherwise happy 965 user

There is already 2FA using email or SMS that you can use: https://www.garmin.com/en-US/account/security/mfa/

Thanks for that! I have configured it. Would still be cool if I could configure my favorite authenticator app.

It should be noted that 2FA does not work on all Garmin services. It has happened to me with Tacx Cloud that you have to deactivate 2FA to be able to connect, otherwise it remains in an "eternal loop" in the login.
