Topic: 2FA on bitcoin talk - page 2. (Read 1916 times)
Very good Idea, I think it will be implemented in the new forum engine.
I think it's a great idea.
We spend time contributing to the board and having it just vanish sucks!
I am still trying to recover my real account from 2015 board hack without much luck.

I use 2FA just about on anything.

Can someone explain the benefits of 2FA in a forum setting?
Please yes, this seems like a must for accounts that are constantly related to bitcoin and $. We need protection from hackers please do this ASAP
I also had a hacked account. Moderator blocks the account only via sign message. I suggest that the introduced 2fa.
I also think password change would be possible only from the original email is a good protection for us BCT users.
I'd like to see more protection being introduced because I've read about many hacked accounts here.

If we could please implement this, that would be just great!
hands up to 2FA on this forum!
The info managed in this account is too much important to be lost by hackers

Maybe the best solution right now is to change password frequently, it seems there is no interest to improve security.
If you have a Legendary account and you make business here, you have to wait couple of time until it will be resume, so change password frequently.

2. if hacker change the email I must approve the changes to the original email, he/she must have access to the email before having total control of the account
Its not easy, most forum members do not actually have a valid email right now.i don't think so because we know so the first register we have a valid email to receive email confirm .
if not we have message for they and they can update email then come back bitcointalk .
and last question "why not update 2 FA because it is best ".
I definitely agree with what you are saying.
I just know what people are like from a day to day viewpoint, whereby they will always use the same username and password for all their sites no matter what they're told.

I would 100% support this idea but it has been discussed repeatedly, again and again. It will not be done on the current forum software.
1. Passwords must be longer and complex, all users must reset password
Depends on what you think is complex. Most of the accounts were hacked either through malware or leaked database; it is very inefficient and a waste of time trying to bruteforce any accounts here.2. if hacker change the email I must approve the changes to the original email, he/she must have access to the email before having total control of the account
Its not easy, most forum members do not actually have a valid email right now.3. Optional phone verification, send an sms before important changes.. If someone want maybe have to pay because sms are not free.
So administrator and users have not to lose their time to resume accounts
Not so much of the anonymous nature of Bitcoin being included in the forum, right? 2FA is really more than sufficient, if anyone can get through 2FA, they will get through everything you stated. So administrator and users have not to lose their time to resume accounts
I don't really see what the benefits really are with the extra security of 2FA.
No one is going to lose any money if there account is hacked or password is lost.

Correct but the money are from the account that people spend time to rank up. All the effort of contributing in the forum will just go to waste if our account were hacked. That's why any security for our account will be a great idea. Kampay!!!
I agree and support each and every idea being suggested by the respected members to the admin regarding security and protection of our bitcointalk accounts. If anything like receiving an automated message to our registered email address everytime we log in to our account is possible then that would be helpful too.
It will be good if someone want, approve the login, after that with that computer or mobile you can be logged forever.
Blockchain has the feature to approve the login.

My account ibinsad was hacked yesterday.
I think in addition to 2fa :
1. Passwords must be longer and complex, all users must reset password
2. if hacker change the email I must approve the changes to the original email, he/she must have access to the email before having total control of the account
3. Optional phone verification, send an sms before important changes.. If someone want maybe have to pay because sms are not free.

Any possibilites that you guys can enable 2FA on this forum? there is so much scam and cheat going on, that its kinda hard to keep up. I really think it would lift the quality of members on here
I agree with you. There are a lot of scam topics and a lot of cheaters. That's why sometimes I feel very insecure. If we use 2FA on this forum, it will be very useful for us. And we feel secure.
I don't really see what the benefits really are with the extra security of 2FA.
No one is going to lose any money if there account is hacked or password is lost.
Yeah, the owner may not lose any money on there account but the hacker can scam somebody using your account and somebody may lose money on it. No one is going to lose any money if there account is hacked or password is lost.
I support OP's idea it would be a great way to add some security on the site.
I support too , Hero account hacked and still waiting to recover ....
I don't seem to have any problems, but I would support any simple system that increases security.
