[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1037251, member: 99014"] I’m with [USER=3]@Ink[/USER] on this one. Logging in should be inconvenient to unauthorised users but not the account holder. If a new device is used (for example the password has been compromised) a 2FA prompt will appear and will terminate the attack there. It will not be feasible for criminals to perform any further attacks, as MalwareTips offers very little gain (no personal information, no payment methods saved). Any attempts to compromise members’ security will result in a very quick ban. It won’t be great to ask users to authenticate again and again. Users who believe their account is somehow at risk can untick the option to be authenticated every 30 days and make use of other methods (automatic log-off/device lock, cookie clearing and others). Either way, the user is in control. Now obviously your bank and Amazon account should be subject to different security procedures. [/QUOTE]
