That squabble applies to any 2FA site. How would I access my bank in the air?
I mean, you're not really being fair. United is an
airline. You probably wouldn't use a bank's authentication system that didn't work while you were actually on the bank premises.

Oh, agree 100%. It's completely infeasible. I was trying to make the same point.

UA is all-in on the smartphone app, and these soft token apps run on the same phones that the UA app does. I have Google Authenticator on my iPhone, and I can promise you it also works on Android.

Eh, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of UA customers log into similar systems. It'd be opt-in anyway. If UA really wants 2FA, this is the way to do it. It's a lot better than the SMS codes, which
dmurphynj rightly points out are a joke.
