Question about authentication

Recommended Posts

Anyways, I would like a reply from a dev to this question: if i lose everything (pc, mobile, written down code, etc etc etc), I just have my brain with this info: my acc name + my acc password, can I recover my elysium account somehow?

 

Sorry if its stupid question. Im freak about security even if im newbie to 2FA things

Time is the time on your clock when you trying to login. Every minute you get new number. The beauty of 6-digit code is that you can openly use it, keylogging this code doesn't help to restore your serial number.

Oh yea I forgot about keyloggers, seems nice idea then. But im still worried if you lose everything as stated on my previous post (I know its a very rare case)

But even most of the ppl dont know about PC-apps and dont write down the big-serial code.. so they need to know how to "demonstrate" to the system they are themselves

Good question. To change your password and 2FA, you need to prove that you are you. You can recover 2FA  password, if you have access to your email (that's why it's always good idea to use email with 2FA as well).

2FA is harder to restore if you didn't save your serial number in safe place. You can't just get new serial number through email, because first what good hacker does is getting access to your email. ;)

So the best option you have - write code down and put somewhere home. If your home got some major issues as robbery, fire, flood I bet last thing you will care about is access to your Elysium account. And no gold seller will get these extreme measures to get into your account as breaking into your house to steal code, so we can say that writing down code is pretty secure.

By the way, in the light of last database leak from some other private server, we can see that many people using same login and password for many other resources. In this case I would recommend to install something like LastPass or KeePass (this one is available on any platform) and then you can generate passwords like KwmhG2xGacKUW1vc, unique for every game, you don't have to type this every time, you can Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V and all you need to remember is your master password.

Guys I don't understand this at all. The guide somone put up on the previous page also appears as white blank image loading. What 6 digit code? What authentication app? I got the email and saw  no 6 digit code, so I thought I must have to scan the QR code. I got a QR scanner for my ipad and scanned it, it only produces an invalid link which leads to nowhere? Where do I obtain this 6 digit code? What app should I be using? I made this account only to ask about this. Thank you in advance for answering.
