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

[KD6-3.7]

This is a corporate marketing dept. scheme to rape and enslave your vital info.

I elaborate:

The time honored practice of creating the problem then arriving with the solution

First, they flood the media with bogus tales of rabid hackerman orgs wreaking havoc on the populace. The peoples are frightened. Now comes the solution: install our phone app and you will be safe. However, the app is a facade. It's true purpose is to rape and enslave your vital info.

It's a good business practice in the current year.

Use the "Backup Codes" extra tab when logging in. It is an annoying extra step but, to me, not as annoying as installing some extra program with sign up or whatever else is involved.

For Backup Codes you get a list of several numbered codes that can be pasted to a Notepad. You need to put in a new one each session and generate a new list when all used up. 'Trust this Device for 30 Days' is for freaks so pay no mind to that.


Go into Profile - Password and Security - Two-step verification - click [Change] - re-enter login password, then find the backup code nonsense. Is all this more steps than installing the bullshit hoop-jumping Ap? Probably, but I refuse to install it all the same and with my now limited browsing of the site it is the next best solution.

 

[Abu Antar]

I didn't install any apps.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

I just used my email. If your email doesn't work, you can change it.

Rocket surgery, this is not, sirs.

 

[Wild Slop]

It's a matter of convenience, not complexity. Don't pretend to be confused.

The email is inconvenient. The ap is supposed alleviate that inconvenience, but it still is inconvenient, plus it adds an imposition of installing an unwelcomed program.

I find the Backup Codes to be a middle ground, and the process to, overall, flow smoother than email.

It's all complete shit, regardless of how it flows. In fact the more it flows the more shit you get all over the seat, it may even explode enough to fly back onto your asscheeks

The forum admins use the 2FA as their Safe Space

 

[Funny-Walking-Briton]

I have information from a source that the 2FA requirement was turned off for accounts that held out, however those accounts have been rendered unable to post at all nor view GD.

They already have a staff only safe space here.

 

[Lord_Potato]

People still talking about this shit?

Come on guys, once a month you copy-paste a code received via an e-mail into RPGcodex and log.

It's neither complicated or particularly inconvenient.

Your whining about it for so fucking long is beyond embarrassing.

 

[Dadd]

Having to type in a code which you acquire from another website or program is particularly inconvenient. Have you considered guzzling less cum from authority figures?

 

[Lord_Potato]

I recommend copy paste functionality, available on most phones. No typing needed. Even you should be able to handle it.

 

[Dadd]

I'm logged in right now, meaning I can "handle it", which is irrelevant
This is about convenience you hopeless dumb fucking retard

 

[Lord_Potato]

You mentioned typing code from one app to another. Who's the retard now?

 

[Dadd]

typing:

the action or skill of writing something by means of a typewriter or computer.

copying and pasting by pressing keys on the keyboard is included in the definition of typing you subzero iq object

 

[Lord_Potato]

Oh, I'm sorry, wasn't aware that you're so handicapped.

I guess moderators should include a special easy mode for the intellectually disabled.

 

[Dadd]

If I were you, I'd stop responding, lest I further make myself appear moronic. Try to understand what words mean if you know how.

 

[Lord of Riva]

It happened again an it is as gay as the last time.

 

[Peachcurl]

I have a feeling it won't stop. Don't stop.

BELIEVING!

For some weird reason, it seems this 2FA silliness causes annoyances every month.

If you look at the complaints, it's not always exactly a month. My theory is that it relates to menstruation.
