Please make that overzealous MANDATORY 2FA Stop!!!

DuckingOutstanding · Dec 14, 2021

It's been VERY annoying trying to log in to my account since i joined as a Jr VIP - EVERY DAY it makes me jump through these annoying hoops, using 2 devices plus correctly solving a captcha 2-3x per login - EVEN THOUGH I"m checking the box "Remember this device for 30 days" (which might as well not exist to begin with because you flat out don't listen to that selection AT ALL) - I'm actually getting pretty fed up with it ... can you STOP making that shit mandatory? It adds absolutely ZERO in terms of security, and it's only working function is to annoy the end user into not wanting to log in to the forum as often .. please just get rid of it or at bare minimum GIVE US THE OPTION OF NOT HAVING IT ENABLED AND NOT OVERZEALOUSLY SCRUTINIZING MY LOGINS

and to be clear - I log in from only ONE laptop which never leaves the same wifi connection and the same ONE Cell phone which is either on carrier 4g or the same wifi as the laptop at all times... I don't use VPNs or anything that would in any way obfusciate who or where I am or cloak my device - and no reason whatsoever that your system should reasonably be flagged - EVER - for anything "unsual' activity wise on my account.. It just likes to log me out arbitrarily (ignoring the "keep me logged in") and make me re-log in (ignoring the "remember this device for 30 days" directive) and force me to change my password 3x a week for no reason

Because my VPN is always on I feel like I spend my life clicking pictures of busses and boats

I'm not a jr.vip but I would also appreciate if that was toned down a little, that is if you are talking about the select all the boats picture.

I'll bring up these concerns with the res of the staff members

The 30-days selection has always worked for me and some others I've spoken with on the forum. Do you have your cache or cookies set to clear every few days or so, or something like that? I'd suggest trying to figure out if you have some kind of feature like that enabled. Make sure you're also not using an incognitio window as well.

The only thing that selection doesn't work with for me is on PayPal for some reason. I agree that when it doesn't work, it's annoying.

I was using a VPN for a little while, and I understand that. I hated it the first few days, but I eventually got used to it.

I'll update this thread with the response from the rest of the team tomorrow.
