Ask HN: How do you share assets with co-founders?
5 points by kaptain on April 28, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Passwords/logins are relatively straightforward to share but how do you share an account that requires a phone number? Both of us can't have the same phone number and even mapping it to an "office/2FA dongle" phone is a bit inconvenient.

The issue isn't so much trust as it is about transparency and survivability (i.e. if something happens to one person, the other founders can still have access).




Twilio account with N logins; use it to receive the verification SMS messages. (You can do something mildly clever and split them in real time to both phones but easier just to send them to a vacuous script and get them from the logs in the Twilio dashboard.)

This doesn't work everywhere but my experience is Twilio numbers pass verification ~80% of the time for the set of services I use them on.
