BenBB Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Hey. Love the site. I have two-factor authentication enabled on my account here. When I login using the link on the forum I can login absolutely fine. However, if I try and login from the main website where you get the popup modal then clicking 'sign in' just redirects me back to the homepage, I don't get asked for my two-factor PIN and there are no error messages. Quite annoying that I always forget that I need to go through the forum instead. It's been an issue for the past year at least. Hope this isn't too difficult to fix and can be resolved.

I just use the username and password. Do you have to use one of the other login methods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I submitted my password I saw the google authenticator. THAT would explain all the bad jokes, someone has been hacking my account for years. +hedleigh, ncc50446, Brandon H and 4 others 7 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If memory serves me well, on the Warwagon joke scale, that would be -10 out of 10. Actually did make me laugh out loud. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted December 2, 2020 MVC Share Posted December 2, 2020 So this is what happens when I turn two factor authentication on a website using an authenticator app. This is what I did to turn on two factor authentication on Neowin. 1) Save a copy of the QR code to two disconnected flash drives, so I can re add it to a device down the road. 2) Scan it into every device I have. Primary phone, spare phones and tablets. 3) Add the QR code to my document stored on my two disconnected flash drives containing, site QR codes and backup codes. Then I print a copy so I have a hard copy of the QR code too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted March 30, 2021 Administrators Share Posted March 30, 2021 Yeah I have two-factor on as well and main fails to log me in, it should at the very least redirect me to the forum for the authentication key, but it just fails altogether, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
