If you haven't got a smart phone, you can use a program for your PC. A list of programs can be found here. I used MOS Authenticator on Windows 7 and had no problems.

If anyone has an investment worth more than $1000 I urge them to purchase a cheap used smartphone (costs like $50 on ebay) and wipe it before installing authenticator. Using a PC-based program is barely better than going without 2FA because if your password is stolen using a keylogger or trojan then your 2FA is also at risk. The whole point of 2FA is to have another device because then if your computer is compromised it's highly unlikely they also got your phone.

doesn't the code refresh every 60 seconds?

Yea it does. It shocks me someone can be interested in BTC and have BTC denominated assets and not own a smartphone.

I don't have use for one at the moment. They are too expensive and I don't talk to people on the phone. I think they are useless pieces of junk that most people wouldn't have if we didn't have a fake debt-based economy. 90% of the people who have them have no reason to own them and cannot use the processing power for anything productive. Anyway...

I guess one could always put it on another computer, right?

oh man .... BITFUNDER ACTM and BTCT ACTM difference of 30%. . . .

It would be nice if one could get shares from BitFunder to BTCT.

Yes, but if they have access to your computer they can probably access the 2 factor codes as well (could steal the secret and generate their own even). Using a second device that you are confident is not compromised is the most important thing. You could use a laptop that you don't connect to the internet to generate the codes, for example. If you're signing in on the same computer that you are generating codes on though you're getting more of an illusion of security than anything.

What takes WeExchange so freaking long to process? Ridiculous, its been almost two hours.

Get the six confirmations yet?

Wish they'd scale that back to around three like btct, seems a bit like overkill.

Finally. Now I have no idea how to activate 2-factor security. It wants a code but I have no code.

If you have a smart phone, get google authenticator and scan the QR code (or input the text code given). This will give you a six digit code to enter when logging in. I don't think it is required though on Bitfunder.

OK, thanks for everyone's replies. I do not have a smartphone, so I will use PC. It is required for BitFunder to transfer shares.

Download the google authenticator app on your phone, add a new profile, type in the provided code reference number or scan the GR code.
