thuddevort on Twitter: “You can disable the extra confirmation under System > FRITZ!Box Users > Additional Confirmation”

My ISP did auto-update the Fritz!Box, but did not send release-notes, so I was not aware this feature had been added eons ago:

I know a second factor is better for security, but doing that on both sites at the same time when setting up LAN2LAN VPN is tough (Fritz!Box names this either “LAN-LAN coupling” or “VPN Connections between the FRITZ!Box and Other Networks”.
A better feature at the same configuration page is instead of disabling, enabling to confirm using apps like Google Authenticator and Authy:

On my Fritz!Box 7490 the deep link is here: http://192.168.171.1/#/system/user/twoFactor#r766 There is even a possibility of an authenticator app (or similar like Authy): great! With the auto ISPs auto-updating would send release-notes after each update.”
