Two steps verification on Sherdog WTF??

[Takes Two To Tango]

It's already winding me up. I've now had to do it three times in around 24hrs, despite ticking the 'trust this device for 30 days' box. Can see me fucking off if this continues.

3x? Wtf? I only did it once.

Oh man that sucks goat balls.

Where do you plan to spend your free time now?

What's your other options out there for discussion sites?

In vesting myself in the real world, of course, this situation can change if the mods change their mind.

Are you on the same network? It's probably a VPN change. Although I did it at home and it still works at work

Hello Guys,
This post is not ment to be antagonistic, but comes from geniuine care and interest for the site.

What is the reason for this 2FA addition? Is it due to accounts being hacked, or fear of them being hacked? Why is accounts getting hacked such an issue for the site? I have been on ALOT of forums in my time and this has never ever been implemented on any of them, and hacking and spamming was taking place on all.

Problem with this, is that a lot of your userbase is older and does not like technology, many people will say weell its super easy bla.bla.bla., and it might be for you, but not for all. It is also an extra step that adds friction, which makes it more likely that people will simply choose not to do it.

Again, this is for genuine concern for the forum, as i'd estimate this would cut the userbase in half. I really think you should rethink this, and see if there is another solution to be found. Otherwise, at least give us the actual reasoning behind it.

Fair play.

How do I get the backup codes?

I went in to enable and there's only code from app or email

Is it on the app you get 10 backup codes? I thought you'd get an email with them

Or do you get the backup codes in the first email if you choose email?

Send me your bank account details I'll sort it for you..... Might need your help with 2FA for your banking app.....

Sherdog is expediting natural selection from the old farts stinking up the forum pffft

of course, maybe you can put some money in it?

I initially figured they were implementing SMS authentication specifically to stop dummies from making 100 accounts. This reason seems to come from a place that assumes you need to protect user info.

I doubt xenforo knows what Sherdog is. They probably just recommend it to every customer because they assume everyone wants added security.

You guys got me using whatsapp now so I can stay in touch with legends like @StonedLemur

2FA should be optional for the user unless there is some other reason not being said for this implementation

Sure, give me access and I'll make sure plenty of money travels through it......

I got them on Sherdog,
Not the app or email.

did you find them after you chose to enable and then you had three options one of which were backup codes?

 

[don't ask]

They don't have my address. I falsified my renewal. I put down 1060 West Addison.

What the fuck? That's where I live, you asshole

 

[Superior]

It took me 10 seconds to add 2FA, calm your tits grandpa.

Sherdog dying confirmed!

I don’t understand the recent changes. I’ve been coming on significantly less since they did the update months ago that made the site damn near unusable.

No idea what my 2012 email was lmao
