the secret key is the only way to recover the account if the person loses his/her phone or app
if they didnt write it down and keep it safe then well, yes the account is probably locked for good like you say

The issue is not whether the auth was requested via the Authenticator, it's about disabling it in the event the user loses his or her access to the phone or app.

By right, support would prove the owner's identity before disabling the auth but with zero communication from their end, the account is as good as gone.

Nothing really surprising here, ad-revenue type faucets usually come and go in exception to those that have a scalable features.
But Coinpot falls to that category though, the bad thing is: they are allowing ads which are 90% Ponzi scam "generators", cloud mining and investments that will surely become an issue in the future; and the rest, the usual referral codes.

Personally, I never had any problem with the site in terms of Login, withdrawal and email support since I rarely visit the site and if ever, just checking on my referral revenue.

---

As for the Secret key, it was given by (or requested from) the Authenticator, not by Coinpot.
If it was Google Authenticator read this: Backup Codes, then this: Using a new phone to receive 2-Step Verification codes.

That's really unfortunate. And to make matters worse, their login page is insecure. Hackers can simply steal login info.

I am gonna post this again, JUST A WARNING!!!!!I lost some bitcoins and litecoins on Coinpot, and I already gave up, i am tired. I have 2AF code enabled, but my cell phone was stolen and now I've lost everything. I did not get any secret keys to recover (I'm sure), and even if I had a secret key where I put it? There is no place and space to put it on the site..Am I missing something here??
So my only option was to contact their support. Of course they never returned me, yeah thanks for that too. I probably sent 30 emails over 3 months and never got a reply. There is no twitter, facebook or bitcointalk from coinpot (all pages out there are fakes or unofficial- like this one). Support email just a scam as well.

I am not a hacker,. when it comes to computers and codes I am a noob and stupid. Also my honesty and ethics would never allow me to hack a website. But now I understand the motivations that some of this guys have. It's a feeling of impotence, anger, sadness, all together.

For this reason I love freebitco.in, great support area with quick answers. You can just look how TheQuin is active here on bitcointalk and answer any question or problem. On freebitco.in If I lose the 2AF code I still have the secret key to put it, if I don't have the secret key  I can still unlock with the cell phone number (by paying very little tax) . I do not want to advertise but freebitco.in  is a awesome wallet and faucet, I should have transferred everything before losing the phone.

So the tip I give you guys is to not be like me.  I recommend that everyone disable 2AF code in the coinpot (even though this is vulnerable with hackers).
 If you lose your phone with 2AF active on coinpot  ... then game over

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SUPPORT ON COINPOT, NOTTING IS OFFICIAL, NO NETWORK, NO SOCIAL MEDIA AND NO EMAIL SUPPORT.
iT'S ALL SCAM, THEY NEVER RESPOND
NEVER PUT 2AF CODE ON COINPOT, ALSO I WILL NOT BE SURPRISE IF SUDDENLY THE SITE WILL BE DOWN, AND YOU ALL GONNA LOST BITCOINS, LITECOINS, DOGECOINS,CASH AND DASH.

Well said. Glad you're taking privacy seriously.

good on you, youre doing a great job 

That's not a problem, but me posting customer's specific TXIDs on a public forum is not something I'm going to do. With blockchain analysis, you can obviously find all our deposits and withdrawals, but that isn't the same thing as me posting something here after a customer emailed me a support ticket. If I did that then I think they might feel I had breached trust.

i think you misunderstood. i meant if you click on the outputs from the "invalid" transaction then it links through to all the other transactions that address has received. on that page you can see that coinpot has paid them again subsequently with a "valid" transaction (usually on 16th feb)
i really dont see any evidence that coinpot is trying to "exploit" anybody


lol ok, so it is then. good to know
btw, you might want to check the "LAST 10 PAYMENTS SENT" section on the Stats tab of freebitcoin - some of your tx ids are being exposed there, from which its easy to determine your customers withdrawal addresses. thats the problem with an open blockchain

That is the definition of a double spend. If you send another transaction using the same UTXO with a higher fee later it will confirm first making the original transaction invalid. In the early days, sites allowed people to spend unconfirmed transactions until people started exploiting it in this way.


Errrmmm, let's try this again. I'm not going to disclose my customer's transaction IDs.

was that the same tx that the freebitcoin user was having problems with? if so, then it looks like it was probably sorted

cool.
so it looks like that was some sort of (accidental/deliberate?) double spend, or RBF or maybe some other tech problem - and is not recorded on the blockchain.
and clicking through on most of the individual outputs it is clear to see that they were paid again on a "valid" transaction later - for example a lot of them (i havent checked all) appear on https://btc.com/f62ecc1ad513c6c799e6085265582aa88edd5ae64d2366aeea3f7c592a51582e from 16th feb 

Attempted double spends are never confirmed so do not get recorded in the blockchain. When the node being used by the block explorer removes them from memory they disappear forever.

hmm, ok yes that is interesting. thanks for giving me the tx id
that weird transaction only appears on the block explorer that you linked to - i cant find it on any others
(eg. https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/6b667a5bd241036decf33893e41f4ac81f71710c7ba1d91830da4632f7b4cdae or https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/tx/6b667a5bd241036decf33893e41f4ac81f71710c7ba1d91830da4632f7b4cdae)

that transaction was sent with small fee (<1 sat per byte) and if you look at https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,30d you can see there was a big backlog on february 12th.
so my theory is that this was not really a double spend - they maybe used RBF (replace by fee) to re-issue the transaction with a bigger fee or something like that?
anyway if everyone got their withdrawals eventually then its not a big deal

so in your transaction list in coinpot does your successful withdrawal still link to that transaction from 12th feb, or does it link to the replacement transaction that you received?

Never heard from anyone about my previous issue...  Hopefully I'll get full credit when challenges start back up, but I'm not holding my breath.  (Thought I'd bump my post back to the forefront to see if it gets any additional attention.)

It is a problem that has happened to me several times. If you look at their recent payouts their is nothing listed for Feb. 12th anymore. They removed this transaction and as you can clearly see on the BTC.com explorer it is marked as a double spend. They did eventually fix this though after I emailed them and sent me my satoshis a few days later in a different transaction.

thats great if theyve been resolved by coinpot
again, all coinpots transactions are openly listed at https://coinpot.co/payouts/bitcoin - ive just checked quite a few of them going back past the date your original post and none are showing as double spends.
thats the bit i dont understand - nothing to do with your customers confidentiality!

ps. no need to be so defensive, i was just trying to help out here - the "accusation" i was referring to was when FinneysTrueVision said that "This seems to be a frequent problem with Coinpot"

You didn't understand the bit where I said I would keep my customer's information confidential. It is up to them if they want their transaction IDs posted on a public forum or not. It wasn't an accusation it was a question. I know of a few people that found the transaction Coinpot told them was "Completed" turned out to be a double spend. I told those customers to contact Coinpot about this and as they haven't got back to me I can only guess their problem has been resolved by Coinpot. I was merely enquiring if other people had experienced the same thing.

as i said above, i dont really understand this accusation
coinpot are very open about all their payouts - see https://coinpot.co/payouts/bitcoin for a list of all their recent bitcoin payouts, including tx ids
can you show me a tx id of one that you think has been double spent or not credited to freebitcoin?
