Smart security company Arlo is finally joining the ranks of Amazon's Ring and Google's Nest in requiring users of its products to go through two-step verification in order to authenticate access to their account. But when it comes to options for that second step, they may tally up a bit short for some people.

[...] account holders were notified that it would soon become a requirement via email. The message, in its original formatting, reads in part:

Two-step verification is an added layer of account security to verify that it's really you, even if someone knows your password. By the end of the year, Arlo will require all users to enable two-step verification. We strongly encourage you to enable this feature now for added security.
If you're not happy with the lack of authenticator app support here, you should know that Nest and Ring also don't have it. The two companies started mandating two-factor logins last month — Ring's policy was enacted immediately while Nest's will come online sometime in Q2. However, neither service offers the push notification step that Arlo does.
