2FA email not received

[snapper]

Have not been able to login for 2 weeks due to not receiving 2fa email codes.
Also setup a new account and did not receive verification emails.
Maybe fixed now because I could login today

had no idea there was 2 factor authentication lol

That's hectic. Nothing changed on my end with the server change. Good to see you back.

What's this 2 factor authentication?

Found here.



I have now enabled app authenticator as well as email 2FA to avoid any future issues.
Highly recommend everyone to enable 2FA for your account security.

Ok.......what's 2fa, does it involve a Covid jab, and how do we enable it?

"Two Factor Authentication", it's pretty standard these days. Like when you log into your email or bank and it sends a code to your phone or other device for you to verify (authenticate) your log in.

2FA is a great security feature, stops people hacking your accounts. Even if they know your username/password, they cant get in without an extra code which can be sent to your mobile , email or authenticator app.
I use it wherever possible. Banks, email, facebook, insta and weed forum accounts.
If anybody wants some help to set it up, let me know.

Thanks @snapper ,

Will let @Mod know.

There is a problem with manual approval process that is still under investigation. Would likely explain why starting a new account did not work... is awaiting approval.

Might have to put a "Contact us" form on here, not sure putting my email up is the best idea, I dont want it filled up with spam.
