New Features Secure your MalwareTips Account - Enable Two-Step Verification

[Kardo Kristal]

No, you can Opt-In to set it as Trust this PC for 30 days.

@Huracan I guess that "Trust this PC" option is based on cookie method?
When you clear browser history then MalwareTips "forget" your PC. Correct?

BTW. 2-step verification is very good feature. Good work by staff.

Yes, seems so. After setting "Trust this device for 30 days" and closing incognito Chrome session, it asks for the code again.

You're welcome For my part, I disabled 2FA, as I do not wish to enter the code each time I log in (in case of LastPass, the trusted device thingy works even with no cookies or other traces left, as it saves the MAC adress - please correct me if I'm wrong).

Thank you! This new feature is very useful. Great work!

@Kardo Kristal @Der.Reisende Tested with LastPass Premium for Android. If you clear everything after logging out-of LastPass, you will be asked for a verification code when logging into malwaretips.com.

 

[LabZero]

Okay,two-step verification performed and stored codes.
Thanks @Jack

@Huracan Thanks for the test and information.

A step to a more professional way, actually if you ever use private browsing permanently then don't click to 'trust this device' which will not only recognized and ask all over again.

I will go to the logic where it only takes a little second to obtain confirmation code which will ensure no one could really hack, actually I've never overhear or saw anything that a user was compromised via 2-factor authentication.

 

[MrXidus]

Excellent to see this feature offered here now, I use 2-factor everywhere when given the chance for extra security and ease of comfort.

Cheers.

 

[Mustolaf]

Do I need it? No. Will I use it? Yes! Thanks for the implementation of this feature, works flawless!

 

[McLovin]

This is excellent addition @Jack !

 

[Solarlynx]

How to remove MT popup to enable this two step verification? It popups though I've enabled it. @Jack

 

[Mr. Tech]

I'll be activating this once I get everything else sorted out, I am actually glad to see another forum add 2FA for it's members

 

[Solarlynx]

I never saw 2FA for a 30 days. I like it though it would be better to make 2 options: "Trust for 30 days" and "Trust forever".

 

[prabath]

m may be its a good idea.but if it ask for the code on every login i dont like it

 

[jamescv7]

@prabath : That's the design of 2 Factor Authentication, and still an optional for you to increase the protection.Make sure to enable cookies if you are wanting to trust the device for 30 days.

thanks Jack

It sounds like a good idea but i do not have a phone. i know that sounds a bit odd these days but it is true.

This may be of help, even if you do not own a phone. It's best that you install Google Chrome, otherwise, you'll have to settle for Email.

Thanks @Huracan i got it sorted by just using email for two step verification, it works well for me.

Install Chrome no way.
