Most secure way to do 2FA. Works like a champ. Coming soon to the vehicles with MFA-to-drive.

More, but definitely not most. Either way, a welcome addition.

Would rather have a PIN to drive vs sending to device.

Wouldn't be Multi-Factor then...

You don't send to the device. The authenticator on your phone works independant of any network connection.

How do you figure? Doors have to open via key then PIN to drive.

Well shit. Touché.

heh I mean it's not how most "IT people" think of 2FA but I'd say it's "fits" the meaning.

Exactly. I work in Cybersecurity, so this just didn't factor into my logic at all but I'd say it fits the bill. Something you have and something you know.

Multi-factor:

1. Something you have (key, phone-as-key, keycard,)
2. Something you know (PIN entered on screen, temp code on phone app that you have to unlock with passcode)
3. Something you are (fingerprint, face scan, etc, could include fingerprint/face scan on phone to access app.)
   
   Note that if your phone doesn't have a passcode or biometric unlock (aka, anyone can just wake it up and open apps) then anything in the Rivian app isn't secure, so it doesn't count as multi-factor.

Yeah, I've already commented on that above. Thanks.
