What do you guys think?

This way, if an account without 2FA enabled on it, gets hacked, he won't be able to scam.

I'm pretty sure this suggestion has been denied a lot of times.

It only takes 1 mintute for an account jacker to active 2FA making the reason for what you suggested invalid.

Also, the amount of thread we see in the RANF section regarding Loss of access and 2FA issue, I highly doubt that this implementation would be a fruitful one.

Or make it so all upgraded accounts have 2fa authentication on anyway? If you don't have 2FA enabled, only things u can access as a upgraded member without 2fa is the rules and lounge sections?

No this hasn't been denied.

This is an option but not until things are slightly more fine tuned.

You should be responsible for protecting your account and your system. If you someone gets hacked its because their own stupidy and if that person scams it is ignorance of the user who got scammed for not checking before a deal happens.

Yeah thats a problem too.
Imo, 2FA should be required to access HF.
But a lot of people are stupid.

Exactly. Since the universe and human stupidity is infinite, I do not think the ramification of this implementation would be a fruitful one.

Anyone with half a brain can use 2FA without losing access to their accounts.
Unfortunately yes, a lot of people are indeed stupid and lose access because they're too incompetent to take care of such things properly.
There are some exceptions who actually get their phones stolen etc.

When there was thought that HF was compromised months ago, Omni send a pm to all users to activate 2FA. He also wanted to add a plugin so only 2FA enabled accounts are able to post in the marketplace and send pm's
I found the thread where he mentioned that : https://hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=5258345
I feel like 2Fa should be enabled if you want to make use of the marketplace. Period.

I am going to add a plugin which will now require 2FA to post in the Marketplace or to send a PM if you have an upgraded account with 2FA/Gauth access. I have also altered the setting for the minimum character length of a password from 10 to 12 characters. In the future that should slow down any decrypting of hashed passwords in case of a dump.

If there is a silver lining in this it's that we now know that 2FA works to secure accounts.

I have contacted all the accounts compromised with 2FA enable and still open instructing them to immediately change their passwords and leave 2FA enabled.

Still, questions remain. When did it happen? How did it happen? Are we still insecure? And unfortunately at the time of this writing I can't say. I am still investigating this and messages have been sent to the members involved. With their help I should be able to get some answers to the previous questions.

I will need all members to change their passwords immediately and enable 2FA if you have an account with access.

End of the day we can enforce as many security protocols as imaginable, scammers will always find a way to scam.

Simple as that really. 😑

[vaiperboy]

scamming can never be stopped honestly, so either make ur research before dealing with someone or just use a mm, as simple as that

[Eagerkid]

I think this would be a good addition, but still wont really solve the problem

Well said, friend.

While we may think this is a good idea it really isn't as many sellers will lose out on those potential buyers who can't access the marketplace.

I believe that is why when this has been suggested previously it was denied.

Why not just ubers then that can't use it unless it's activated.
