Browsing the web is not one of the strengths of AmigaOS. Why not just used your smart phone or tablet instead of wasting an Amiga to do something it’s not good at.

PSA: 2FA works with emails too.
I don't mind everything else but these upgrades always come with a new look, and the new look is always inferior. New HoL is indeed a good case study. |

The only effects of 2FA is to block legitimate actions and collect personal data with the excuse of security. If EAB starts doing that too, I will leave permanently. |

Two-Factor authentication (2FA) is a nice addition to security logins and it is not mandatory (users can choose to enable that or not). EDIT: Documentation for 2FA of the xenForo Forum Speaking about security, I feel it's less secure using an unsupported version of vBullettin (3.8.x has reached End Of Life in 2017, see announcement) and the obsolete and unsupported PHP stack that it has to use.

2FA really means what it is : two factors. So one is perhaps OTP, but the other is something on the cell phone, usually some SMS to be sent - and guess what, your phone number is required for that. Quote:

Im worried someone will steel my eab ID - we need biometric authentication.
Someone might hack my account and say I love the Atari ST ![]() |

So, it's true that many providers implement 2FA using phone numbers (which I agree is far from ideal) but in this specific case, we are talking about xenForo and xenForo does not do that. I hope this helps. |

Sorry, but everything was changed from a few years, when I'm active on the net.
For everything you need to give your cell number as 2FA verification. A few months ago I bought my 4th Samsung tablet, and it was 1st tablet which needs 2FA verification. Which I dont like. Then even if you dont need it give your cell number now, you will be MUST give your cell number soon. Meynaf is right. For me current EAB is ok. Then you can wrote "does NOT require a phone number for 2FA" NOW. But it will be "required a phone number for 2FA" SOON. Many services dont needs phone number a few years ago to activate. Now everything needs phone (cell) number to activate. |

To be clear, I'm not trying to win an argument at all costs. I honestly only care getting the facts straight. Spreading false claims or handwaving uninformed opinions is not helpful and is a disservice to those reading this thread. So, please folks: get the facts to support your claims. In any case 2FA authentication is just one item in the checklist I posted a few days ago when I evaluated the alternate solution suggested by RCK. 2FA authentication is not even the most important point in that list, I think. I hope this helps |

First, your original claim (post #66) was generic about 2FA and not specific to xenForo. Second, as Don Adan said, this can change any time. |

To the extend that every employee has a professional cell phone (monthly fees) even if it is never used professionally and is used only to confirm windows login from time to time or log to an application from a fixed PC at work ![]() |
