I'm using this browser extension for 2FA btw so I don't have to use a phone

What if I told you that you don't need any browser extension or a phone to use the 2FA.
how? I'm also using it for other sites that requite 2FA, if it will work for them too I'd be interested, but with this extension I just copy the code with 2 clicks and I'm done, p easy.

Yeah, you don't need a phone or even a second e-mail address.
It's still shit. I blame it on Taluntain, complete retard.

Yeah, he's even worse than you, King Crispy, because he seems to be the one in power here, and his decisions are utter bullshit.
You're just a slightly unfunny clown.

Just tried to log in for the first time in a long while and was asked to 2FA.

I understand requiring 2FA for a commerce app or something real like that. But rpgcodex? Really? This is a place for boomer virgins to talk about decades-old RPGs. Who gives a shit if some idiot whose password was 'sephiroth' loses his account? He can just create a new one.

Did the admin decide he should add 2FA so he could write on his resume that he did it?

They already explained because it's easier to implement 2FA and ignore the whining than it is to deal with the regular account theft that's going on.

Someone please remind me to redo my 2FA on the 1st of October, so I get the monthly request to enter the 2FA code on the 1st day of each month, and not in the middle of the month.

It might prevent me from being shocked and triggered every time.
Fuck! I forgot to do it AGAIN!

FUUCK!!!

This is such an annoying feature, especially if someone is switching between few different devices (laptop, home PC, phone, work PC). Super annoying and unneeded.

Can you at least modify the re-authenticate threshold to something more reasonable, like 180 days? Or let users customize it? It's a freaking RPG forum, not a bank. If somebody was able to provide their 2FA on date X, it makes no sense to ask the same person to do it every 30 days.

Had to enter the code today. How many times have I been there already ? Five times ? Six times ? It is all moving so fast, time passing in a blur. I used to be young, now age is weighting on my shoulders. Will the day come I'll have no longer the strength to switch tabs and memorize a six digit numbers ? Will I sit confused and lonely, staring at my screen, not understanding why ? Why ? Life is but a vapor, rising and swept through the air by the virtue of a superior motion. We're all dandelions in a windy field, small seeds scattered in a foreign land.
