··Ash @ ΩFHi everyone,
Trev and I conducted an update in the last 24 hours two enable Two-Factor Authentication (TFA) as an option for members. Initially this is an opt in available for everyone but over time we will be enforcing it for specific groups that are at high risk of account theft by phishing, malware etc.
Those groups will be:
* Moderators
* Dealers & High volume sellers
* Well known / high profile members and VIPs
* Eventually anyone wishing to use the FS section
There are two options for TFA at present, the easiest for most is email, where a 6 digit code will be sent to you which you copy and paste into the field in the login screen. The second is a bit more secure and involves using an app like google Authenticator to handle the code.
Once you are logged in on a device it will remember your login for a fairly long period of time so you won’t need to do it every time you visit the site and its fairly convenient for the added protection offered.
To enable TFA, anyone can click on their profile in the top right of their browser and tap the Two-Factor Authentication button to enable it, the entire process takes about 30 seconds to set up.
