  BRB pulling up to a QR code scanner with my 15 inch thinkpad w520 running on 92whr of battery consuming literal watts of power because it’s from 2012.

  Hopefully i’m not an inconvenience.

  @toynbee @DeaDvey aren't there authenticators that run on desktop browsers? Or does it have to be a specific one

    Yes, it’s a specific one. App only.

    The OC said in a different comment that you must be on the college network to set it up.

    You don’t need to tag me, by the way; I get a notification if someone responds to me directly.

  The authenticator requires you to be in the college’s network to set it up for the first time and I don’t have a laptop.

    Ah, that does complicate matters. Good luck.
