Do you have 2FA/Access to your 2FA?

Every day or every couple days there's always a new case of a member losing their 2FA. I just wanted to make this post as more of a reminder, and hopefully, maybe you'll notice something before you lose access.

Do you currently have 2FA Enabled?
If no, why not? You're more prone to getting hacked and closed. It takes 5 minutes tops to have amazing account security not only here, but most popular online services also offer 2FA for accounts. I highly recommend Authy: https://www.authy.com/

If you do have 2FA enabled, do you use Authy or Google Authenticator?
If you're using Google Auth, I highly suggest switching to Authy. Authy has both desktop and a mobile application which do cloud backups if you ever lose your phone or computer, or even both in some rare chance. You can get the desktop version here: https://www.authy.com/

If you do use Authy or still using Google Auth and you have 2FA enabled, go verify it now to make sure it's still working. No idea why it wouldn't, but it doesn't hurt to do 5 seconds of work to make sure.
Just been too lazy to use it and to be completely honest i just havent been worried im fairly safe and never download anything off HF so the chance that someone gets my account is slim anyway.


But ill probably do it just in case the most random thing ever happens so i dont get repkilled and closed among other horrible things
yeah, got it on my phone and PC

It's worth it in the end even if you think you're safe. One slip up is all it takes until you can be vulnerable to getting your account stolen. Why waste it all away just from one bit of safety.

Good stuff mate
I'm actually thinking about doing this I'm just not sure if its necessary as I'm not a target.

Nobody can know beforehand whether they're a target...
I don't middleman any deals on- or off-site. Please don't message me requesting my past services and certainly don't fall for anybody who claims to be me.
I have a fucking retarded Windows Phone. Neither app is available on there.

I don't really do rep for rep so if you're using your daily rep on me save it for someone else ❤️

Long time fascination with computers, politics, some gaming, but less so nowadays.

Like Minimalist said, you never know if you're a target or not, why risk your security just because you think you aren't a target right now?

What about downloading Authy on your desktop? Or even downloading something like Bluestacks, getting Authy on there and using that. Enabling backups will also mean it's linked to your Authy account so you wouldn't lose the code.

You can just use Nox.

Anyone who's currently banned on HF would love an upgraded account.

I have Bluestacks on my PC but I guess I'm not understanding how it would work. If I somehow lose my PCs files through whatever reason, wouldn't I then lose the 2FA forever? Or do you login to some Authy account?

From my understanding of Authy, Authy has cloud backups and you also sign in with a username and password. Even if you delete/lose access on authy, you can redownload and everything that's backed up to the cloud will come back.

Not necessarily, I could be wrong but I think ban evaders still get caught when trying to upgrade still so avoiding that would be a plus.

Anybody with positive reputation and an upgraded rank could be considered as a target.
