SirArindel Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks, works as intended so far, already enabled. I hope the security will be extended to Delete mod if possible. Edited July 19, 2018 by omega2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrosus912 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I prefer 2FA email aswell, one of the things that made me move away from TF2 was when they forced people to enable phone based 2FA, stupid escrow. Sorry valve, I am mature enough not to fall for Tf2 trading scams, and If I do fall for them It's my own fault. Personally they should have just added some new stuff to the steam policies that the user agrees to that purges all Valve liability from trade scams. Since it is more the user's fault for falling for scams like that in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't even have to be an app. I've seen it done by text message as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the alternative is less secure than google's, it's easy enough to force it to appear instead of google's. Kind of defeats the point of having it. Quote DaedalusMachina007 wrote: The capcatcha failsafe is there to have something available instead of locking people out of their accounts until the service comes back up.Considering how reliable Google's services (usually) are, this will be a rare occurance if nothing else.It doesn't 'defeat the point' of having capcatchas at all; it is something I (rarely) encountered when I was still living in an apartment complex and sharing the same IP with others. Nexus has to balance security and convenience and I feel they've struck an acceptable balance between the two. Besides, in a worst case scenario you have a vandal who messes with a modder's settings or something that can be easily undone if reported quickly enough.The main reason we use the backup captcha is for users in China, where Google is blocked so they can't use the regular Captcha. Of course there are also those who are super-sensitive about their privacy online and block Google (among other) services. So it's an effort to cater to all our users.
