Zanderat Posted October 27, 2023 Author Share Posted October 27, 2023 Thank you @1ae0bfb8. I suppose I could have contacted suipport, but the part about invoices would have been tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I would wonder why folks feel it is necessary to have 2FA on a GAME forum....... Last time I had to change my password, it was 12 characters minimum, etc.... My BANK isn't that stringent, and there has never been a problem. I leave myself logged in here, simply because I am just not concerned about 'security'..... I am the only one that has access to this machine, and no one really has any desire to use my Nexus account, what would be the point??? It's a gaming forum. Security here is the least of my concerns.

Guest deleted34304850 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 is the wrong answer. lets just suppose that i'm your average low-iq user of this site. i run windows 7 because i have a tinfoil hat.my password is cunningly set to AAAAAAAA because no-one is going to scare me. i use the same hotmail account for everything. but let's just say that my combination of my hotmail account and my password is hacked on icantgetagirlfriendsoiwatchporninstead.com.that combo of userid/password is published. now, someone gets that data and basically brute forces that email/password combo on every website in existence. oh no, my netflix has been hacked! how?oh no, my gmail has been hacked! how?oh no, my <insert website of your choice including your bank> has been hacked! how? because you're a divvy who doesn't take security of your systems seriously, which is why cybercrime is a billion dollar industry. anyway, you crack on. you know best. right?

Dark0ne Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 2FA is completely optional. Only you can decide how important your Nexus account is to you. We have hundreds of mod authors who are making $100s to $1000s each month in DP who most definitely should be using 2FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanderat Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 The recovery process, if you lose those codes, should be looked at. Would I have been allowed access if I couldn't easily come up with a paid invoice from years ago? Maybe a challenge question would be better?

showler Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Didn't the article I linked say that they were planning to set up a new system? The current thing with emailing them an invoice sounds like a temporary measure. I'd guess the new system will be implemented with the upcoming site overhaul.

And no, I am simply NOT concerned about 'security' of my account on a GAMING website. After all, this is the ONLY site that requires 12 characters for a password.... so, this password is most certainly unique. Why anyone would bother trying to hack it is a mystery to me. There is literally nothing to be gained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AugustaCalidia Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 The recovery process, if you lose those codes, should be looked at. Would I have been allowed access if I couldn't easily come up with a paid invoice from years ago? Maybe a challenge question would be better? There are no doubt many (myself included) who cannot produce a paid invoice from the long ago. That's why I like Zanderat's suggestion. I hope this option of a challenge question is under consideration for the Nexus Mods site overhaul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
