Almost happened to me after my self-ban. I got a new phone and thankfully I left my code thingy in a draft on the email 😖

INB4 100 members saying they're locked out because of 2FA.
What site was it?
RE: Login Reset - Biggy - Apr 23, 2019
Watching the RANF threads with users stating they can't login will be fun.

Not for me to say. Up to that sites admins to secure their site.

Gonna be so many members crying because they lost their 2fa. Oh well.

Glad I keep all of my login and Gauth information safe and sound.

Glad to hear that preventive measure was taken. 🙂

Thanks for letting us know and actually attempting to fix the issue. Too many sites like to cover this shit up and act like it never happened.

Thank you for notifying us. Security is of top importance.
RE: Login Reset - Astrogen - Apr 23, 2019
I thought something happened, but glad it was this security measure.
I just installed authy on my phone to keep my account secure. I also copied the backup key from the gauth page here on hf and printed a couple of copies of them. Any other tips to prevent me from losing access? Thanks.
RE: Login Reset - Dorrance - Apr 23, 2019
I am thankful, see I told you guys to wait to see what happens next.

Quote:One big advantage of using Authy for two-factor authentication is the ability to install the app on multiple devices. This way, if you lose your phone or travel with your computer to a place without cell service, you can still access your accounts without any difficulty.
