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

[Hell Swarm]

I see absolutely nothing wrong with running RPG Codex via Homer Simpson logic.

Well he is taller and smarter than you are. Crispoid.

Bargaining phase: maybe it can be at least... less often than every 30 days... your supreme highness...

Can I second this? Once every 90 days or even once a year would be better.

The 30 day countdown has nothing to do with actual 2FA. It doesn't offer additional security, a hacker can't replicate the specific cookie you're using right now. It exists only to annoy you.

It is caused by intense laziness of the forum admins.

Some guy haxx0red another guy's account and deleted posts. Now the admins really are usually too lazy to do something about that.

Except! This resulted in a popular thread being unreadable because of a bug in the forum software, and many complaints were made.

Answering complaints is work, so that wasn't going to continue. So the forum admins thought about how they could eliminate these annoying reports.

I'm sure they even considered disabling user reports. At least for a second.

This forum bug could have been fixed, but that would have been work, so instead of fixing the bug, 2FA was introduced and it has a 30 day renewal period.

This renewal period being 30 days is another forum software bug feature, and fixing it also would have meant work.

So it hasn't been and won't be and admins won't receive complaints because of janky threads.

Problem. Solved.

 

[Taluntain]

Yes.

 

[Not.AI]

2FA is why I post much less often...I can't remember...most of the time...both my email password and my forum password. It's like quantum mechanical complementarity.

I'm pretty sure it reduces user activity. (Unless it is desired due to cost?)

Why do the mods want more game discussion to go into the COMMENTS section on YOUTUBE?

Why?

Convenience is king in the modern world. Convenience is joy. Convenience is happiness. I love convenience. You love convenience.

 

[LJ40]

I'm finding more and more that I fucking love 2FA. It's simple as shit and pisses off stupid people.

Server failed to send me an email with the confirmation code

You can check the logs, 2FA request and no email coming my way

Not a problem on my end, pm notifications dropped instantly few days ago

 

[Taluntain]

As mentioned dozens of times before, use the app option, e-mail is unreliable.

 

[Melcar]

Every month I await in expectation for my 2FA email. It gives me something to look forward to.

amazing shit with 1.7/5 rating on playmarket

You'd rather rely on the retard ratings of an app than the direct advice of this site's administrator?

Authy is extremely easy to use, 100% free, and, so far, infallible.

Whatever.

Save the backup codes and use them to log in. Regenerate them when you're about to run out of codes.

I've edited the first post to give you a selection of authenticator apps you can use.

 

[Fedora Master]

All because a bunch of retards couldn't keep their account safe and so the most egregious shitposters can continue to do their thing.

I use the mail option and it works like a charm every 30 days. I don't see a reason for an app at all

 

[Taluntain]

Unreliable doesn't mean it never works for anyone. It'll work fine for most people. But app authentication will work 100% for everyone.

We can supply the cactus.

I can't find them all of a sudden, where are they?

 

[Iucounu]

Do security codes cost money?

Don't give them ideas.

Would you guys pay an extra monthly subscription not to have 2FA?

 

[Crispy]

Would you guys pay an extra monthly subscription not to have 2FA?

We would need to implement 2FA in order to accept the payments.

A bit off-topic, but I think it's only fair if members paid for every forum post they make. Just a small amount, perhaps 2 cents to begin with. To make it practical, members can purchase forum credits with real money, credits that are automatically withdrawn from our accounts with every new forum post or edit. Perhaps also charge credits for reading posts? Inactive accounts could be charged twice a year for maintenance.

Can I pay you 50 bucks to fuck off?
