In basic terms, this means that when trying to log-in to your forums account, you will need to have your device (Phone, tablet, etc) to enter the "Authentication code" which can only be viewed from your device. Just added security, only allowing YOU to log into YOUR forums account, nobody else.
Two-Factor security is essentially something that can guarantee your account's safety. If I am correct, there is a special password you must copy & paste that changes over a small amount of time, 1min if I'm not wrong. So, if you'd like your account to stay extra safe and 99% safer from hackers, I recommend this. Sorry if I explained it confusing, I am very tired.
You open the app up when you want to log in or when the key is requested and you enter the, I think 7 digit, code into the box, this will be after you have entered your username and password.
I lost access to my main forums account because of the Two factor authentication. Can anyone help me find my code?
This is off-topic. If you are wondering about this, post it on Minetime forums. This is not the appropriate place or thread to put it at.
Uhm, I finally decided to try this. I was about to add it and all of the sudden, the verification codes decided they shouldn't show up. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it didn't work.
