Re: MFA, Re: Are there any V7R6 "Gotchas" that I would need to worry about?

James,
Do you use any MFA which requires you to enter the six digit code?  Like
having a DUO or Authenticator app on your phone?  Why yes, we did have to
get the tinfoil hat guy here to get a smart phone instead of a flip phone.
Yes he keeps it in a Faraday bag when he's not using it.  It also supports
those key fob devices too.  It's important you have your time sync set up
right.
You can expect the same type of experience.
Signon screen changes to add the new authentication.
Many IBM GUI apps change to support the new authentication.
IBM even discusses how to append the code on to your password (ie
mypassw0rd:######) for applications like FileZilla which do not have an
authentication prompt.
