• We are requiring that all users add Two-Step Verification (2FA) to their accounts, as found here: https://forums.sherdog.com/account/security Within one week, we will automatically set this up, so please make the necessary arrangements.

2FA will likely kill this forum

It's not like we'll have to do the 2FA login stuff every single time... uh, right?

Disclaimer: I'm a doofus about this kinda stuff.

Nah, I've been having to do it for months now and I think I only have to login/2FA like twice cause I stay logged in.

If you are not aware, they have adopted a MFA policy, meaning you need more than one way of getting into your account, this means that they will probably require a mobile number for you to authenticate your account against in the even of your forum account being compromised

i find it absolutely bizarre, we use it in work because we have GHDPR in place and lots of confidential information held...its a karate forum on the internet and i for one wont be giving my mobile number up to access it

23 years...its been a long journey, take care everyone

hmm, I don't know why sites shoot themselves in the foot like that. Prince.org was my co-site along with sherdog for maybe half of these last 20 years but in their case, they overmodded to the point where everyone just went elsewhere. Over at Lipstick Alley, they do that too, makes no sense if they want people to post there. Rules? sure but most of the time, regulation is over silly shit that would make most people say, "well, fuck it then".

I guess it's time to use reddit for mma stuff. Whoever decided to require 2FA for a site that involves no monetary transactions is a straight up moron (hope they read this)

Yea I had to log in from my phone again today, and then I had to open my email to get authentication code to login.

A lot of extra steps, only to get a bunch of ads as a Plat user.

Previously, I contributed for plat because I appreciate sherdog forums… but now I keep my plat because the forum has gone crazy with ads. It’s simply not usable esp on mobile, without plat.

I don’t know who has been in charge of the redesigns and all, but they probably working undercover for Reddit to kill sherdog forums lol

Brave browser blocks all the ads. I never see them.

backup codes? so i can get a backup code and then just memorize that code and type it in when I log in everytime? that sounds like a decent way to do it because I don't have to open other shit

You get 10 backup codes that can be used only once.

once enabled, is it "permissible" to disable?

(please, say, "yes.")
 
This takes a couple minutes to sign up for and is for security reasons, using less than a minute of your time when it's required. I use 2FA/MFA for so many other things. I don't understand the uproar. Old men, yelling at clouds.
