Title: [ANN] LibertyBit Now Supporting 2-Factor Auth w/Google Authenticator
Post by: LibertyBit on March 02, 2013, 08:03:07 PM
In response to our user's feedback and voting on our roadmap, we are pleased to introduce Two-Factor authentication with Google Authenticator.

For those unfamiliar with Google Authenticator, it is an open-source method for creating 2-factor account validation. The process involves pairing a device (mobile or desktop) with LibertyBit, to increase the security of your account. Once enabled, logging in to your account will require both 1) Login credentials AND 2) Your unique authenticator code from the device. The code on your device expires every 30 seconds, so you need access to it in order to login to your account.

Two-Factor Authentication can be enabled from Settings->Security:


In order to pair Google Authenticator with LibertyBit, you will need to either scan the QR code provided by us, or enter the Key Code manually into Google Authenticator. Once your device is generating codes, make sure to SAVE your account settings. On your next login, you'll be presented with this screen:


If you ever lose access to your Google Authenticator device, you can restore your account through the forgot password process.

Google Authenticator is available for Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and desktop devices. For more information on Google Authenticator see: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1037451.

Signed up for your site but when I logged in and hit the deposit tab nothing happened (none of the tabs worked). Using the latest version of firefox.

Also you should really consider losing that hard to read, blocky font used throughout your site. It's very unprofessional looking.

Thanks for the feedback CB. Haven't been able to reproduce the tab issue in-house - sent you a PM for clarification.
