completed Addition of 2FA (Two-factor authentication) for more security.

[hishamyas 364]

Since the developers are at the verge of launching the tanki online mobile version very soon we shall have some more secured options to log into our accounts in case we've lost the password. We would simply scan the QR [which could be coded by tanki itself] using any authentication applications (Authy or Google Authenticator) in order to have the special code entered in case you've forgotten your password.

Completed

You should explain in more detail how this feature would work. At the moment it's quite hard to understand.

Maybe not a QR code, but it seems like a good idea.

You should explain in more detail how this feature would work. At the moment it's quite hard to understand.

TFA (as an acronym) is an extra layer of security that is known as "multi factor authentication" (as stated above) that requires not only a password and username but also something that only, and only (I meant it), that user has on them

i.e piece of information only they should know or have immediately to hand such as a physical token (The backup codes you receive which will be randomly generated in case you have lost access to both your associated email linked to your account and forgotten your password or if your account have been stolen).

 

So instead of e-mailing the tech support, the system would require you entering one of the randomly unknown generated backup codes in order to successfully log into your account.

 

And basically the usage of 2FA is using the regular login ways "Username + password" in addition to a piece of information that ONLY the owner knows which makes it harder for potential intruders to gain access to the person's in-game account.

Simple! Don't drag this issue a lot.

 

When some other devices like access our account from different IP, The server will detect and send a OTP to our mobile for verification.

 

Or

 

sends a OTP to our Email to make sure that our acocunt has'not been accessed by someone else.

If you forgot the password, there should be 2 questions which you would make while registering.

 

What is your most favourite animal? Cat!

 

What is your most favourite film? Star Wars!

Oh, I guess your explanation was brief and not understandable.

A simpler way would be to have a 6 digit pin that you can pnly enter by clicking, and the location of the numbers changes each time. So you enter the password first and then it asks for the pin, which, if wrong for a couple tries will lock the account for a few minutes

what's the difference lol, that's what 2FA actually does, once you enter your password, the system requires a backup code (which is automatically generated inside your authentication application) in order to login, and in case they've forgot password they would simply enter one of the backup codes.

[HichigoShiiro 4,378]

This is the 2FA most banks use, you have a code which you tap in, though they ask for specific numbers such as: The 3rd, 6th and 7th characters in a pin with 8 characters.

 

But games that use 2FA just ask you to remember a 6 number pin that you tap in after putting the password in.

nope, you do not have to "remember" a specific 6-digit pin in order to login, as I stated above there is a special 6-digit pin which automatically generates inside your authentication application once you've entered your username and password.

Can Alternativa add more ways to secure our accounts like 2FA to Gmail / SMS
You have a lot of people being open to getting hacked by just someone guessing their password

Hello, I would like to suggest that in the account register there should be a 2nd authentication factor and that in addition, a minimum mandatory x number of characters, symbols, numbers and special characters be requested for the password
