“OTHER METHODS SHOULD BE CHPSEN OVER THIS IF POSSIBLE”

Nigger

In the immortal words of Zack de la Rocha: "FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME"

A maxim to live by.

Kike.

I don't think Authy is the only choice. Can anyone confirm?

Personally, I like being tracked via telemetry. It's the only attention anyone ever pays to me.

There are a number of authentication apps besides Authy, yes. I use Authy myself and never had an issues, FWIW.

 

[EdgyRightWinger]

It's appropriate the admins imposed this at the start of pride month, because it's extremely fucking gay.

 

[Haba]

Bad news guys, this development made someone... go outside.

Im using the Microsoft Authenticator on a Samsung phone and the QR scan works fine

As if we needed more evidence that NegroMarine is non-White.

Ban darkpatriot for causing this mess

That's how it worked for the Deplorables after all...

 

[Roguey]

Ban darkpatriot for causing this mess

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

To hell with that suggestion. You don't have to follow it, what are they gonna do?

I’m a zoomer who doesn’t know anything about internet security so this might as well fall under the clause of abusing a minor.

The only difference is that the phone is hypothetically more secure than email (until you lose or wipe your phone, in which case you just lose your accounts).

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

Yeah I'm not a fan of it. 2FA is just a pain in the arse designed to harvest your phone number.
At least you can use your email.

[*]if the moderators had said " well its just one thread, who cares. Deal with it " then tomorrow its another thread and maybe its a topic you spend time on or its your account

It's not just one thread, 17k+ of my posts were deleted and only a fraction of them was in the Ukrainian thread. If someone was just deleting posts in one thread it'd be a harmless prank, but deleting RPG discussions is a threatthat cannot be ignored. I wrote plenty of reviews and comments of niche RPGs, many of which I was probably the first (and sometimes only) 'dexer playing. Now all those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

I think deleting and editing old post privileges should be revoked until order is restored.

You guys complain too much. Like women. And faggots.

We'll see who's complaining when you are reduced to 1,500 posts

That's not true, *all the authentication apps provide backup auth codes that you can store anywhere and that you can use in case of losing access to your phone for whatever reason. There are also various possible problems with e-mail delivery that don't exist with the app solutions, so I strongly recommend using an app over e-mail. Of course, not being an idiot and not saving your provided backup codes somewhere secure as well.

*Authy definitely

 

[Disciple]

This measure will likely alienate many Codexers due to the annoying extra steps and the mandatory addition of some phone app in the case of posters for whom browsing the Codex is a pure PC experience.

Maybe the access to General Discussion should be further restricted; e. g., make it >3 year old accounts and >200 posts on the gaming subforums. And do not allow donations to circumvent those hurdles.

Admins can also help you regain access to the account on 2fa platforms usually.

This is fucking bullshit.

 

[GrafvonMoltke]

This is hilarious

Further proof that the average Codexer cannot into reading.
