You are correct. Xenforo very strongly urged that we implement this, and we're listening.

Sorry to hear that, it's not a huge step and we try to make it as relatively painless as possible.

This is gay as fcxk!!!!

Yeah I think I'm done here. 2FA for a karate forum? I literally don't know of any other forum that does this. Was there a bot problem, if there was I never noticed. This has the potential to kill the forum. Imagine that, the UG and sherdog killed off the same year due to idiotic leadership. It's going to be sad if that happens.

Guys it's not a big deal. It can be performed in under a minute. They send a code to your email/app and provide back up codes in the event you lose your credentials. That's it.

Why I didn't get this yet?

Somebody hacked someone's account and used it to like posts that poster would never have liked. Pretty serious stuff.

I've already sent off my DNA sample to Sherdog HQ for them to check my identity properly.

Anything for the Sherfam

Guys it's not a big deal. It can be performed in under a minute. It's for the safety of our accounts.

No other forum on the Internet asks for this. Not even the social media giants. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea? Fire them, immediately. They are going to kill off the site just like what happened to the UG a couple months ago.

For real, what we need to do now?

don't get what this is about.

There's a header at the top of the site, well should be anyway

"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. Reach out to an an admin if you encounter issues, and we apologize for any inconvenience."

Guess this is my last week here

RIP sherdog.

count me in on the 2 step verification... its important so you're account doesn't get hacked and post some douchy progressive left bullshit to make you look stupid and take away your sherdog street cred.

This has the potential to kill the forum.

This directive came down from Xenforo, the forum platform that hosts Sherdog. I doubt they'd suggest something that they know will destroy a product they maintain.

 

[Pliny Pete]

I'm not happy about it but I'm gonna fall in line and do what I'm told, just like the rest of you lying ass dirtbags, for one simple reason...

Bro it‘s like when you need the Microsoft app to log into your bank account and confirm that it‘s really you.
Seriously this is existential for the forum from my POV. A chunk of the user base will be wiped out and won‘t be renewed.

They already have your email to which they send a code and you copy and paste the code, that's literally it. They're not asking for sensitive information. What's the big deal?

Is this the only forum they platform? They literally don't have this anywhere else that matters on the Internet.
