@jkyoung , and to others that read this post,
Let us all unite our voices concerning the current Two-Step-Verification process! You aren’t alone. This has been an ongoing issue across many other topic areas, just not here in the Feature Request Board area. There are also many, many Two-Step-Verification posts across the entire Ring Community!
Ring has made some verification improvements. After you initially log-in verify, you don’t need to repeat this process on some Ring apps (smart-phone apps, Windows 10 apps, the Ring Community website, etc.) as long as you do not log-off. Thank you Ring! ? But still some areas, like the Ring website, still have this repetitive annoying issue (automatically logged-off after idle-time, and have to repeat this verification cycle).
Let your “Thumbs Up” be your vote to improve Two-Step-Verification method! Ring Teams notices Feature Request Board with higher Thumbs Up numbers, and therefore are more likely incorporate the request. I apologize if I missed some of the Two-Step-Authentication posts on this Feature Board, and I did not link to this topic already posted in other non-Feature Request Board areas (too many). But if you think this Two-Step Verification should be modified or tweaked to be more User-Friendly, CLICK ON EACH LINK below and THEN CLICK THE THUMBS UP icon of the submitting post author. Help make your Kudo Vote be heard! ?
