Re: [Wikitech-l] Commons app - version 2.7 release
Also There's no reason an app or website needs to have a password, to have a password-less authentication, they would just have a single-factor authentication on "something you have". In this setup, if you were to enable 2-factor authentication, you would then provide "something you know" (i.e. a password). I've noticed a growing trend to get rid of passwords in the industry because, it's not a very good user experience and it's not a very good security practice either And honestly, it's not a terrible idea, I don't have to remember a password to get into my home or car, I just have to have a key.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Commons app - version 2.7 release
2 Factor Authentication can be broken up like this: - Something you have - Something you know The "something you have" can be anything in your possession, this could be hard things like a U2F <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_2nd_Factor> device, a smartphone, or soft things like a phone number or an email address. The "something you know" is something that can be stored inside your head, which is almost always a password or pin number of some kind. So since the mobile app (or any mobile app for that matter) still requires something you have and something you know, it is still 2 factors.

Hi Daniel, Happy to hear that you like the new features! :) Re: 2FA logins, that is an interesting question! However, it is not one that is unique to our app, for if you log in to your 2FA-enabled Wikimedia account on your mobile phone's browser, both factors can also be on the same mobile device. ;) Perhaps someone more well-versed in security/authentication than I am could be better placed to answer that question.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Commons app - version 2.7 release
It’s worth noting that (to the best of my knowledge) having a release for both iOS and Android is not trivial, seeing as they’re entirely separate platforms with separate programming languages, SDKs, approval workflows, and publication/release systems. > On May 1, 2018, at 4:19 AM, zppix e wrote: > > Is there a plan to release to iOS? > > Thanks, > Zppix > Volunteer Developer for WMF > Volunteer Support for Mozilla > www.enwp.org/User:Zppix > > > On Tue, May 1, 2018 at 4:25 AM, Josephine Lim > wrote: > >> Sorry about the lack of formatting - I am not sure why that happened. :( To >> rephrase, the new features are: >> >> * New "Nearby places that need pictures" UI with direct uploads (and >> associated category suggestions) >> * Enabled two-factor authentication login >> * Enabled viewing of Commons user talk messages >> * Real-time location tracking in Nearby >> * Improvements to UI of navigation drawer, tutorial, media details view, >> login and settings >> * Option to nominate picture for deletion in media details view >> >> Best regards, >> Josephine >> >>> On 1 May 2018 at 19:17, Josephine Lim wrote: >>> >>> Hi all, >>> >>> We've just released version 2.7 of the Commons Android app ! \o/ The new >>> version is available for download on the Google Play Store[1] as well as >>> F-Droid[2]. >>> >>> This update includes several new features: >>> >>> - New "Nearby places that need pictures" UI with direct uploads (and >>> associated category suggestions) - Two-factor authentication login - >>> Notifications activity to display Commons user talk messages - Real-time >>> location tracking in Nearby - Improvements to UI of navigation drawer, >>> tutorial, media details view, login and settings - Option to nominate >>> picture for deletion in media details view >>> >>> We are also thrilled to be mentoring two new contributors for this year's >>> GSoC - Tanvi Dadu and Ujjwal Agrawal. :) >>> >>> Thank you all for your support and encouragement thus far!
