Title: Account security features for the future.
Post by: Handsome Boy on July 20, 2018, 07:11:07 PM
before I start this topic I apologize if I am wrong with my opinion, but as we know every day there is bitcointalk account hacked by someone and here I am confused why bitcointalk does not make special security, such as:

1. every change of password and email, there is always a link sent in our email for us verification.
2. use the Two-Factor Authentication feature, I think it's a great feature to make our account more secure.
3. connect with the phone number, every time we login there is a code sent on our phone number, so I think no one can enter with our account before he can hack the phone number we have.

this is my suggestion to make our account more secure from hackers, because I see every day there is discussion about account hacked, hope this can help us and once again i apologize if i am wrong.

thank you.

You are not entirely wrong and you have absolute reasons to talk about this sine today or tomorrow anything can happen with your account too (mine included, also whoever is going to read this). We have talked about this several 100 (+/- a reasonable number) times and yet no solutions. Perhaps they (admin/s) are working on the solution or there are other priorities to be done. We (I - to be precise) really do not have any clue.

I am totally agree with 1 & 2 however number 3 is a no no. The goal is to have our rights to be anonymous. Perhaps for this reason we don't even need to use an activation email at the time of registration.

yes I agree with you, because I believe the admin does the best for this forum, even now this forum is the best forum for bitcoin and altcoin forums.

Somewhere I read that new forum is being developed. May be they will implement these features there but there is no recent update about that.

In my opinion, Security of the member's account should have the main priority. At least one of the above solution should be implemented as soon as possible on a priority basis.

Here is the whole forum section dedicated to discussions about new forum software:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=167.0
We already waiting several years for release of Epochtalk and I think it wont be released in near future. Currently we don't have security features like 2fa on Bitcointalk. Main measures how to protect our accounts now - use 2FA on email, strong and unique passwords and offcourse - avoid phishing websites.
