That's exactly what I thought. just because some dudes were using stupid passwords despite knowing better
we all now have to suffer from inconvenience, and that what TFA is regardless how easy it's been made.
And for the guy sending money to a faked account: Sorry, but you can't fix stupid...

Maybe its me, but why not just put a waiting period on any e-mail change ?
Give a PM & email to the member that the email was requested to be changed and have them confirm that the change request is legit ?
Thats how credit card companies do it to verify purchases and changes in the registered account holders info

If we can get thru all this for awhile, there is something better coming.

Guessing from Randy's post this current 2-step verification might be a temporary fix.

Just saying.

Let’s hope so - even though I figured it out, I agree that it will scare away some regulars, and keep newbies from wanting to join.

There is a certain faction who show up on forums for the express agenda of selling saws and parts for extremely high prices .In that faction are many dishonest people who rely on peoples naivety .In other words their ignorance .Those who fall for that line of BS whine like broke d--k dogs .My advice is don't be stupid .

I came here for big jugs, found some just not those I hoped for!

I mean come on, I googled D jugs and got tricked into looking at pictures of aluminum whatever thingies - perverts.
Then again, I'm still here.

 

[exCanuck]

Ok
I'll stop by a junkyard and use a vin number
Off a dodge again.

Nope. For chits and giggles, I just closed out the window. Opened up a fresh one, and was asked to log in. Entered Username password and got the lovely 2 step.. again.

Well, I guess you could stop using that private window and let your wifey see your browser history.

 

[exCanuck]

Good heavens it's been so long since I used a pass word nor can I find out where I wrote it down .Most likely what could happen is I'll need to rejoin .No big deal .

log out. Then instead of logging back in, click Forgot Password.

 

[Loony661]

If I just changed my password yesterday, do I need to change it again now that we all got that message?

 

[Woodwater]

i think not.


i have enabled 2fa a year ago i think.. all fine so far

 

[Duce]

This old azz figured it out, I think. Only thing I know for sure, glad I am not exCanuck.

Defending alphabet for passwords

Apparently having just one single sign in Your password strengthens it tenfold, include multiple and Your golden.

Howdy!
