Is anyone suffering from the problem of trying to get 2 factor auth codes from the text messages on their smart phone? I have to take off my glasses to use my phone, the screen is so small, then I can't see to type in the numbers on my computer monitor! I usually memorize 3 digits of numbers at a time taking off my glasses and putting them back on. No way am I getting bi-focals just for my dumb phone. But it's really a pain and more web sites are going 2 factor authentication, my bank, GitHub, etc.

Having my phone announce the numbers on speaker is probably not a good idea. I could get a tablet and setup a 2nd phone number on it just so I could read the numbers, expensive!

I really can't think of cheap elegant way to solve this. I could install a 3rd party app that allows the smart phone to mirror it's screen to a tablet across wifi but that seems risky.

I could allow Microsoft Windows to sync to my smart phone but that seems like the worst solution of all, if my PC is in a compromised state all my accounts could be wide open to hackers. The idea is to get the authentication out of the PC loop right?

OK folks, I think I found a solution, for android at least. In the text messaging app, click on the menu icon, upper left, 3 horizontal lines, choose "customize", then "Font" and slide the font size all the way to the right, I can read the codes with my glasses on. Unfortunately it makes reading other messages in the app kind of crazy.

I started using glasses a few years ago. The optometrist suggested to try progressive lenses and it was love at first sight. I can read near and far, see the road and all the details on the dashboard, in short, my eyes do almost all the same things they used to do before. I know progressive lenses, or their poor cousin, the bifocals, don't fit with everyone, but if they suit you, they will be useful for a lot more things than reading auth codes.

That was exactly was I was going to write:

It has not to be bifocals, I would go for a 3 zone progressive lense.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Now I want the text message app to be changed so that I can set the font for specific incoming phone messages so only those numbers that send codes uses the larger font.

On my android devices, reading text messages I can simply pinch to change the font size. Pinch out, read the number, pinch back in ready for next time. Too easy.

I tried to do it as described in a search and it didn't zoom in our out on my Motorola android phone. I can zoom in and out on pictures though.

Varifocals: I use them so I can see road signs and read the display on the dashboard.

They can take a bit of getting used to, but you won't go back. I used to have three pairs of glasses: distance, computer, and reading - but I was always wearing the wrong ones ... Big Grin | :-D

I guess I'd need glasses that are neutral up close, I can see fine from 1 foot out or so.

Talk to your optician - they can do that!
The bottom bit is "close up" and can be any level of zoom, including zero.

I have vari-focal and the glasses still fly off and on my face all day long.

One advantage though is that it gives my nose a break.

It sounds like you could use bifocals or progressives, even if you're a little "young" for them as I am.

I have progressives because I work with electronics regularly, and I'd have to take my glasses off and on to see the silkscreens or solder.

They are a lifesaver. Maybe consider it.
