Two steps verification on Sherdog WTF??

With those things it is often about what the members accept. If they lose a lot of members it maybe will be removed again. I will see when I cannot login anymore.

You can't just get users back like that. When a big chunk of your user base is gone, it's gone. There is no getting them back.

Yes of course. But I have to see they will really do this in the first place. Maybe they will make it optional for some time first. Every change has benefits and negatives for them. Ending up with a very safe forum, but without much activity is probably not what they are looking for.

They must know that. It seems rather obvious to me that this is a business decision, as in they need to prove X authenticated users otherwise they lose a big ad contract or whatever.

In which case it s the only way to keep sherdog profitable. IDK. I guess it‘s hard to compete with all the social media who spread their overheads on huge userbases.

I went in there and all it asked me to do was change my password. Nothing about another step
 
In 15 sears or so when some of you fuckwits decide to run for Governor or Congress, you'll be glad they did this, because you wont get 'Mark Robinsoned'. Some of Cook1's 2008 posts probably would not age well.

Man you are part of the deep state and against Trump.
Thats why this is being done.
With 2FA you can control our wi-fi and steal all our precious data, which you will sell to the woke big Tech and Big Pharma.
Dont think I dont have figured you out!!

You're probably giving them too much credit. It seems to be a mix of incompetence, not caring (not my business, not my problem admins) and the parent company only paying attention to the ad money rolling in. A quarter down the line when the company notices ad revenue is down is the first time they'll care about it, but they still may be too stupid to figure out what caused it. They might think the cure is to firebomb the remaining user base with even more ads <{outtahere}>

But why do they say 'within one week'. If it would be totally sure then they would give a date at which it will be active. Now it is more like waiting what the members do. If most members won't do this it will have an influence on the next step to take.

You could try protonmail or tutanota. They don't require anything, but make sure you log in once every 6 months (tuta) or every 12 months (proton) or they get deleted for inactivity.

Yeah I've noticed the trend of trying to get every account linked to your smartphone. It's worse than just data gathering imo. They're slowly setting up the control grid, getting people conditioned to having to use their smartphone and their biometrics for everything. In India and some countries in the middle-east they've been forcing their populations to get fingerprinted or have their bank accounts frozen, like some Covid shit, and then moving all government services to some creepy smartphone app so that it's impossible to talk to a human. Same playbook everywhere, at different stages of implementation. Smartphone technology is also much sinister than people realize, not disclosed on the label.

Yeah some of the stuff about the new iPhone 16 is insane. Like even if you turn it off it will still reach out and connect to other phones around it so it can still monitor you. Apple gets away with this shit by saying a human doesn’t monitor your data or have access to it but AI does.. and the humans have access to the AI. That’s their work around. It’s similar to Batman using tech to triangulate the Joker in ‘The Dark Knight’.. wild shit.


Interesting to note that Google has been banned over in China but Apple has not.
