2FA on bitcoin talk

[ibinsad2]

Maybe the best solution right now is to change password frequently, it seems there is no interest to improve security.
If you have a Legendary account and you make business here, you have to wait couple of time until it will be resume, so change password frequently.

hands up to 2FA on this forum!
The info managed in this account is too much important to be lost by hackers

[hodlftw]

If we could please implement this, that would be just great!

[oli123]

I also had a hacked account. Moderator blocks the account only via sign message. I suggest that the introduced 2fa.
I also think password change would be possible only from the original email is a good protection for us BCT users.
I'd like to see more protection being introduced because I've read about many hacked accounts here.

[mrtryonebiggums]

Please yes, this seems like a must for accounts that are constantly related to bitcoin and $. We need protection from hackers please do this ASAP

Can someone explain the benefits of 2FA in a forum setting?

[realZurg]

I think it's a great idea.
We spend time contributing to the board and having it just vanish sucks!
I am still trying to recover my real account from 2015 board hack without much luck.

I use 2FA just about on anything.

[CryForA]

Very good Idea, I think it will be implemented in the new forum engine.

[mrreese]

we really need 2fa or any double authetification, 2 mouth ago someone hack my altpool-tech account and never can re get it

2FA would certainly be a very good addition to the forum but I doubt that it will be added in the near future. The best way to secure your account is to keep your anti-virus up to date and to not click on random links.

I have no hopes for 2FA or anything meaningful on this forum at this point. It doesn't seem like the devs or mods care. I tried to regain control of a thread I've created in the local forums after getting hacked and even that was completely ignored by a mod despite a polite and well-explained inquiry.

I have proven the ownership of my hacked account as well and have not gotten any sort of response in over a month. The email hasn't been changed either apparently, but it still won't let me to restore the password via email.

It's quite interesting that nobody seems to care about anything on here and I wouldn't be surprised if a substantial amount of fresh investors got deterred from Bitcoin entirely solely by strolling through this forum. There's definitely no surprise that some billionaire investors proclaim that Bitcoin itself is a pyramid scheme or scam if they went through this place as reference...

Hopefully the admins actually care and will do something about this situation, but since 2FA has been requested for such a long time that seems unlikely. There's absolutely no quality control in posts either and people just deliberately spam and copy paste absolute garbage throughout the entire forum.

Very sad to see what BCT turned into over the years.

Yes, I'm also think like this, what you get with 2FA, safety??  I don't think so, just what we need is very good password and checking location from which you access to your account.

Try to be simple, don't complicate.

There's nothing complicated about 2FA. And it can also be optional, so people can freely choose whether or not they want to use it.

But right now the forum doesn't even need you to require a password change via email, otherwise hacks would be pointless.

I'm with two hand for 2FA. In past months Digital Section is filled with hacked Hero/Legendary accounts.
For example I have 1-2 years old staked address, but the procedure is too slow in case of a problem.

[GorillaDental]

I just stare at my webcam and let it retina scan me when I enter my password.

[surfinonmyownwavebaby]

Oh wow, this would be nice feature. If you do end if adding up please send out a notice as I am sure all users would like to know about the changes.

[mizan2821]

I also like this idea.it's an awesome idear for empower 2FA to give clients the accommodation that their bitcointalk record won't be broken or hacked by flighty individuals.

that's right with danya 2FA will add good security features and provide more level of comfort to the user.
it seems that just relying on passwords and emails is not enough to make our account safe so there is no harm if there are other 2FA features.

[mrreese]

it's a real probleme, in this forum we have a bigmarket, anyone can steel your account during a transaction and steal your money.

[bitjoin]

If 2FA cant be put on this forum then a 2nd idea could be making logins only via email rather than username.  I'm no security expert but hackers already have all the login username for taking random shots to hack anyone on this forum.  I know before 2fa the exchange BTC-e used to have username logins and changed it to email for this reason.
