Cross-Device & Syncing

  1. Can I have my authenticator on more than one device? 

Yes, but Ethos supports only one TOTP credential per agent. The standard pattern is to use an authenticator app that syncs across your devices (1Password, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator with cloud backup) - the same 6-digit code appears on your phone, tablet, and desktop without registering multiple credentials with Ethos.

  1. I onboarded with my authenticator on my phone - how do I log in from my desktop?

Just open your authenticator app on your phone, read the current 6-digit code, and type it into the desktop login page. The code is the same regardless of where you type it in.

  1. Can I change which device my authenticator runs on?

Yes. Go to Settings → Account Settings → Account Security, remove the current authenticator credential (you'll need another 2FA method active to do this), then add a new one from your new device.
