kitsuneshoujo Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 I'm having trouble downloading anything that's 500 mg or larger, it either craps out around 75% or it wants to take 10+ hours. Most recently I tried to download people of skyrim, before that Falskaar and before that immersive college of winterhold. None of which I could successfully download. Anything smaller in size, no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rokatsu Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) By two part authentication does that mean needing a cell phone to verify your account or login or something? Cause facebook does that and now I don't use it anymore. (Not everybody has a cellphone! ) If not... ignore my comment. :P Edited January 9, 2016 by Rokatsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not everybody has a cellphone! ) If not... ignore my comment. :P In most cases, two factor authentication requires you to give to service you want to use your phone number. When you try to login, they send you a code that you need to enter directly after inserting username + password. The strength lies in having two independent factors for authentication: something you know (password) and something you physically own (your phone).It can provide more security, but:- people who don't have a mobile are locked out- when they don't send SMS and instead use an app you need to install on your smartphone/tablet to generate these codes, people who own a traditional mobile phone, will be locked out- some people will eventually login on their mobile device which receives the codes, so they might be unlucky enough to defeat the additional protection of 2-factor-authentication for their accountWhile using SMS enables a lot more users to make use of 2-factor-authentication, using an app might be the cheaper solution.

Thandal Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 2FA can use lots of different channels as the second factor. SMS to a mobile number or an app on a smartphone are just two examples. Paypal offers an automated voice phone call as a means to transmit the access code. Just have to put the number you want called on-file with your account, that's all. I've used it many times when I had left my hardware token (my normal second factor) at home. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugnexus7 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Regarding Two-factor Authentication: I fail to see how tying a persons cellphone to their Nexus account will make data any safer. I see the opposite. Obviously, the Nexus database has already been hacked once, as has pretty much every large bank, government agency and most large, data-hungry websites. With two-factor authentication, hackers--should they get in again--will now have access to a phone number for a phone that can then lead them to even greater amounts of data, including GPS data that reveals the actual, physical location of the user. It also gives Nexus access to my phone number, something I am NOT comfortable with. Freely handing out data to prevent the theft of said data is illogical. Requiring users to use a device they may not own is illogical. Linking yet more data to a database that has already been hacked is illogical. All that being said, mandatory Two-Factor Authentication would be the end of my using the Nexus website. My two-cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
