Good to secure tanki online,

Try us now, hackers!

Hackers are going to hack no matter what. if your password is not strong enough they will break in..

the main thing you need to do is have a pass word consisting of number , other things . also have a strange name or a bunch of things to make up a password. change it often to keep them from trying to get in.

Oh no damage problem solved finally!!(perhaps)

Cheers for magnum

But with 2FA Hackers need access to your phone to hack into the account too The password will not help them

Can`t believe, you finally rework such an obvious and so annoying damage bug. May be sometime, may be in 5 years, you fix  laser targeting which now jumps from one tank to another.

@Niklas You need follow their social media to get access. They choose the date and the time. It can be when you are sleeping only 1 hr. more info down

Is this going to solve the "GRAY SCREEN" bug as well???

I don't think it has something to do with the gray screen bug.

but do we actually need 2fa in first place? because currently our accs are linked with email and a hacker after accessing our acc cannot steal it because to change the acc password he has to click on change email and pass option which will send a pass change link to our emails....so in current scenario also we are fully safe

Well hacker can spend all the crystals and tankoins you have. Anyway it is totally your choice. You can set up the 2FA if you feel like doing so. :-)

I do not have a smartphone to play Tanki Online. How can I use and enable this two step security feature on my desktop PC?

Dude, you as archaic as me...we are dinosaurs together!  Long live the smart phone hold outs!  Down with Facebook and Google!  FREEDOM!   Bring back DOS, typewriters, and Twiggy in a horse drawn carriage!  (slap Like and Subscribe if you agree...or jog my Neuralink if you're wired)

That awkward moment when your Tanki acc is more secure than your bank account...

This is all excellent news.  Have used Authy for work for a couple years and there are clients for Android, iOS, Windows, Mac, and Linux.

More information has been added to the wiki article;

I didnt notice the damage bug or the magnum bug... what are they? 

[hmsrodney 3]

Oh no, today I not move without smartphone. I can t go to WC, because I need smartphone ;). And what if I have :

1. old smartphone with low Android

2. OS-less phone so key phone only- I don t spend 130 EUROS only for this.

I know it is not obligatory

So the big thing with the new 2FA model is simply this... If someone else tries to get into your account after compromising your password, then you get a notification saying someone is trying to get into your account and you either have to provide the 6-digit number, or they have to guess it. The goal with this is to meet certain criteria in IT regarding the CIA and IAAA models in Security.

CIA

Confidentiality

Integrity

Availability

 

IAAA

I dentification

Authentication

Authorization

Accounting

 

The point being is that it becomes more about the area's of something you are (the account holder), something you have (the account password), and something you know (the account 2FA password and code to get into the account.)

I have experienced 2 curious incidents when I was driving my wasp on the top-most ramp on the stadium map. I self-destructed both times it happened. Did this happen to you on other maps too?
