Two-factor authentication and GLBSE

[unclescrooge]

Nevermind, I found the "trick": you have to be slow before hitting the "Login" button.

If you type too fast captcha and auth code and hit the logjn button, it somehow assume the auth code is wrong. Weird...

Also check the time on your phone. If its off by a few seconds then 2factor/Google Authenticator may not work.

So, I'm actually trying to enable two factor on my account, and I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I click on the "enable" button for two-factor authentication. It takes me to a page with a QR code, the manual text code, and 4 check boxes for various aspects of the site. under that is a field to enter an auth code if you already have two-factor enabled. I scan in the qr code to authenticator, i selected what I wanted to protect with two-factor, then I hit submit, because I don't already have two-factor enabled. I get an error that says "wrong auth code" and get the page back with a new QR code. So now I have to delete the one I added, add the new one, select things, then this time I add the current auth code for that account and submit. Same error message.

What am I doing wrong?

Exact same thing happens to me.  I've tried the 6-digit code from my Google Authenticator app, and I've tried that 16-digit string under the QR code multiple times.  Every time it just says "Auth code is not correct, please try again"

Same thing here: said "incorrect code", and ther's absolutely no way around. This was on a test account.
Now it seems my phone clock was out of sync of over half a second, corrected, it works. Now I'll try to enable it on the "real" account; let's hope for no bad surprise...

Thats a feature not a bug

[Nefario]

2 factor auth has now been made easier, the time on most peoples phones is set by the carriers network, turns out most networks like to be about a minute fast. I've updated 2fa to take this into account and should allow users with slightly fast phones to get in.

I got this old bug where 2 step is enabled without ever enabling it. :-(
And I noticed it yesterday so I will probably have to wait till Monday to withdraw some of my funds. (even though my ticket says it has been assigned)

[testconpastas2]

well , I have enabled 2-factor auth and when it is used from firefox with tor, it didnt let me log in.

if i turn off tor,  everything works again. ( using foxyproxy standart)

any hint?

Thank you.

Don't use tor.

[testconpastas2]

nice advice, but  using glbsee with tor seems a good thing to me.
Nefario have you thought about using a Tor hidden service?

Really I'm only kidding, often the issue is the time since GAuth used on GLBSE is time based.

Anyway, I've ordered a Yubikey so will adding this as a two-factor auth method as well.

[mila]

well.

and what about the .onion access point to glbse?
or releasing 1.0 javascript black/blue version with keys only for authentication?

I see no reason to provide .onion access to GLBSE as most accounts that have been compromised the attacker has used Tor to do so.

As for releasing GLBSE 1.0 code, I suppose, all it will do is show how bad a code I am I think.

I did not know that. Fair enough. Thanks for sharing the info
