Posted June 29, 2017 We've enabled two-factor authentication. Click your profile at the top, then Account Settings. On the left you will see Account Security. When you click, you will need to enter your password and then you will have the option to enable two-factor authentication via Google Authenticator. You will be prompted to scan a QR Code with the authenticator app and input a code from the app to finish the setup. Note: The forums do not always ask for this code on login. It does it in suspicious situations to help safeguard your account. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 29, 2017 Will Wurm ever have two-factor authentication? Or does it already exist and I am simply missing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's in the works with a new account management system. I don't have more details to give on it yet. Mostly because @Retrograde would hunt me down if I stole his spotlight. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This was recommended: https://winauth.com/ Edit: It's also opt-out for members, though definitely recommended which is why I have it prompting people to opt-out of it.

Posted June 29, 2017 Just a question , using the 2fa and failing on it , it is 1 hour cooldown for a new login is it really required with that long cool down time ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2017 This is very nice implement to the forum account's security, like someone said already on the thread, a lot of money travels and a lot of business is done via forum. And at these unstable times, what comes to securing your computer from several attack attempts, I see these kind of double-security methods becoming as a very much needed and certainly a minimum requirement to secure the accounts we hold on value.

Posted June 29, 2017 yay for 2 factor, for only google auth, sadly the auth app hates my phone so no 2 factor for me yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 29, 2017 I've also found this as an alternative: https://authy.com Looks to have support for a Chrome plugin as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably worth point out for those using one of the other desktop authenticator apps, there is a link on the page with QR Code that will give you the details that you need to enter into the authenticator app to get things setup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
