NEW: Knocked out of the Android app

[Chewie904]

Having a key card in my wallet is a good idea. But this issue I encountered yesterday would not have been resolved with physical card in hand. I had multi-factor DRIVE enabled which requires me to be signed into my mobile app. Since i was unable to get verified I was unable to authorize my drive.

Wow did not think of that as an added issue!

I have since disabled multi-fact DRIVE

That's the number one reason I won't turn it on and have advocated to Rivian to enable PIN to drive. Nearly the same benefits from a security aspect, but none of the infrastructure tie in requirements.

PIN to drive is more convenient and less prone to user lockout but MFD is more secure.

Technology design vs User Experience. Same old story.

It let me connect once, but only let me see the marketing side of the app. I will try back later tonight.

Thanks for the intel!!

Good news is you could buy another Rivian. ;-)

Sure, it's more secure, but not substantially so and only against specific attacks. The predominant threat is these two security measures work to counteract is replay attacks against which they are equally effective.
