- You can have as many TOTP devices configured as you like. Either you have several different authenticator apps installed on your mobile phone, or you can use several different mobile phones.
- Command line tools such as oathtool provide a command line TOTP app that can be used from a workstation or laptop
- You can delete your own configured TOTP. If you delete all your configured TOTP devices, then the behaviour reverts back to the current one (i.e. use of ActivIdentity HID security token)
- If you cannot login at all because of TOTP, open a Software and computing ticket in the ECMWF Support Portal to request deletion of the wrong TOTP profile .
