PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: 2FA NOW MANDATORY - YOU DON'T NEED A PHONE NUMBER FFS

[zapotec]

Vatnik sperg compromises several users' accounts, deletes all their posts, makes the entire site run like shit and turns every thread they've ever posted in into gobbledygook and forces the moderators to CLEAN IT UP JANNIES for an eternity before they introduce 2FA to stop it from happening and all half of this thread can do is rage at the Codex and not direct their hatred at a retarded sperg and his cheerleaders who takes conversations on the internet so seriously that he'd sabotage the entire website to get rid of opposing opinions. Epic.

What 2FA does to stop a "not hacked user" to not start deleting his own posts for pure malice/retardness?

 

[Correct_Carlo]

Ban darkpatriot for causing this mess

Probably unnecessary, as he has already sent a message saying he's not interested in opting into 2FA.

RIP darkpatriot

I actually found that you can do 2 Factor Authentication using the existing email you registered with, while I had thought you needed to link a second email, which wasn't going to happen. I will probably log in less as it is more annoying to do so now, but it isn't a complete non-starter.

In any case, shame on you all for victim blaming rather than blaming the person who actually committed the vile deed.

It still makes you enter the code every time you login. I will not give my actual personal email to codex, so now I have to log in to my fucking burner email everytime I login to codex, which is annoying. This will most certainly kill the forum.

I think a better solution would just be banning all vatniks.

So you were using a personal email account? What a moron.

No, dumbfuck. I've always used a burner account with codex. That's what I'm complaining about. I never check my burner account, but now I have to log into it every time I log into codex.

 

[Zarniwoop]

WHAT
THE
FUCK

Seriously what fucking asinine bullshit is this? There's nothing more annoying than having to fuck around with phone apps or emails and nonsense when I just want to shitpost or even read some shit on the Codex.

Ban this retard @Kang Crispy and his 2FAggotry.

Hey guys, did you know if you type your password in your post the Codex censors it? Try it yourself and see:

For the retards in this thread who got it into their heads that the Codex wants to harvest their precious phone numbers for nefarious purposes: we don't get access to your phone number or any other info you use to set up 2FA. Not that the conspiracy theorists here will believe me, but still just spelling this out for the rest of the crowd.

 

[OSK]

Is there even an option for phone numbers? I only saw email and authenticator app.

 

[Churrasco]

Since you need 2FA if you log from a new location, can you remove the 30 days renewal? or at least make it like once a year...

 

[Ironmonk]

So, I have dynamic IP... is this feature going to be like the one on Discord that almost every fucking time my IP address change, I need to send a confirmation to my email to get a key to allow me to log in?

 

[gaussgunner]

2FA is gay. I'm not sure it makes my account any more secure. If so, I'll get locked out sooner or later. Might be time to delete my account.

 

[Ladonna]

Ok, this new system is ridiculous.

Surely there is a more elegant way of stopping retards than doing this. No other forums I frequent have this system.

 

[yes plz]

definitely not giving you retards my phone number

luckily the e-mail option is simple enough but this is still moronic

 

[gaussgunner]

Obviously being sane, i am not going to give my phone # to the codex. But most email providers (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, etc) now also demand a phone number to set up a new account, so you are kinda fucked. As I mentioned to Infinitron, for some strange reason codex bans all Proton emails (which is a Swiss email service that values privacy and doesn't require phone numbers). Finally found another service that doesn't require phone #s.

Oh really? Well no matter, Proton is gay now. I tried to make an account for codex and they want email or phone verification. I found a much better alternative though.

Tutanota, cock.li, mailfence... won't ask you a phone number and won't spy on you. The proton ban is weird though.

Also adding myself to the group that dislike 2FA. I'll use it if there's no other way but I'd like the restriction to be removed eventually.

 

[Jenkem]

what, exactly, is taluntaint's end goal? every bit of DECLINE over the last year has been his impetus

 

[Ladonna]

No, dumbfuck. I've always used a burner account with codex. That's what I'm complaining about. I never check my burner account, but now I have to log into it every time I log into codex.

Now I'm agreeing with Carlo. Damn you Codex.

 

[shaanghai]

Quite the over reaction for one user fucking up

Impossible to crack.

 

[Lady Error]

No other forum requires 2FA and it damages the forum by forcing people to jump through this hoop.

This cannot seriously be more than a temporary measure, DarkUnderlord. Don't really see much lulz coming from this either.

 

[The_Mask]

No other forum requires 2FA

This is true. None of the other forums Taluntain supports has this requirement. RPGHQ definitely doesn't.

 

[Üstad]

2FA is like vaxxing, it's healthy and neccesary.

 

[Tavernking]

Hi can I get a refund on my patron badge?

 

[Crispy]

No other forum requires 2FA

No other forum allows you to say FUCK YOU, NIGGER and get away with it, does it?

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

That is no longer true.

I can think of at least three off the top of my head.

Why do you have such a hardon for 2FA anyway?

 

[Crispy]

That is no longer true.

FUCK YOU, NIGGER.

Hmm, seems okay to me.
