       The European Union uses a system called "Europass" to work or study in the EU, to apply from research funding, or to find collaborating partners. Yesterday, they announced that they will require two-step verification from March 2022 using either iOS or Android services.Reliance on having a smartphone, and on proprietary software by two ethically questionable US-based firms, seems undemocratic and surprisingly poorly considered.Info: https://europa.eu/europass/en/two-step-login-process-access-europass-accountContact: https://europa.eu/europass/en/contact-us/submit-query

       @ephemeral Undemocratic? Buzzword.If you loved democracy so much you would realize that vast majority of people have no issue with this. Perfectly democratic.

       Follow up to this.Got a reply from the Commission, which states that you *can* use TOTP and a variety of other methods, but for some reason this is not listed on their main site.The options are here: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/cas/manuals/EU_Login_Tutorial.pdfI have responded that this should be clear on their main site and they should not be instructing people to download the app on iOS and Android only.

       @ephemeral Freedom and democracy are mutually exclusive.
