·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.

·LESSON LEARNED - ENABLE TFA (YES YOU!)
Read this is you would like to avoid (best case scenario):
• exposing your personal message information
• exposing other forum members to fraudulent sales posts or worse
• embarrassingly begging the assistance of 1-6 mods
• embarrassingly requiring the assistance of a mod for 20-30 minutes of their precious time
• frustratingly resetting all your passwords
• enduring an unexpected morning’s worth of panic and your own waisted time, and
• having to see Ads
This morning I woke up to ADS on omegaforums (the horror!) because I had been logged out of my account.
Looking next at my email, I’d received a password and email reset notification - my omegaforums account had been hacked.
Suddenly, my mind started racing over all the possible personal information in my OF private messages, from having completed many purchases/sales over the years.
Anxiety reaching higher, I realized I had no way to contact the mods. I began text messaging the one mod for whom I have irl information, and setting up a new account (name: “iwashacked”), then panic-messaging not one but FIVE other mods.
I was reaching for my bug-out bag when @dsio responded to my ghost account message, and deleted the two “for sale” posts created on OF by the hacker (seeking to scam fellow members).
@dsio then spent the next 20+ minutes graciously guiding me through securing my email address, reestablishing my OF account, reconfirming ky account security and TFA, and observing my embarrassing come-down from the panic high.
Like some of you I’m sure, I’d seen this earlier announcement of TFA availability and passed by it casually. Had I paid attention, it would have taken 2-3 minutes to complete and avoid this mornings circus.
So, if you would like to avoid all this (best case scenario), enable TFA now

·Friendly reminder to please set up Two-Factor Authentication if you haven’t, yet. It’s easy to set up, use, and once running, you don’t really know it’s there.
Do it for yourself if you have your own sensitive info in your private messages. Do it for others if you have their sensitive info in your messages. Do it so the mods don’t have to rescue you ☕
