MFA that relies on SMS text-messages or voice calls will not work at sea. MFA that relies on push methods or email verification may or may not work. It is advised to use a offline supported method such as One Time Passcode (e.g. Duo or Authy OTP), or Security Key Devices (Yubikeys, etc). Be advised to test offline MFA methods prior to sailing by placing your mobile device in airplane mode. | ||
