Why is it needed for this forum?

Why is it needed for this forum?

Because we got hacked a few months back and the hacker used the ID of one of the staff members and created some issues.

Some other members had their ID used to in an attempt to sell goods in the classifieds section.

2FA will become the new norm soon I suspect.

Folks, it’s not required. It’s already an available option. If you don’t want to use it, then don’t.

I use the Authy app. It works very well for me.

Hi
it looks to me that SB (like a lot of other sites) has been taken over by some IT guy(s) who want(s) to make themself (ves) indispensable by creating more and more fences...

The job of indispensable IT guy is still vacant. Do you want to apply?
Job requirement: advanced fence creation

You do the 2FA thing once a month. It’s no big deal.

But unfortunately a scam has now been released to fool uses into disclosing their account details as well as the 2FA code. What’s next 3FA?

Ha ha ha. I knew IT's guys were so sensitive
Why don't ITs fix problems instead of asking non-specialists to do more tasks?
