Two-Factor Authentication

[noob257 36]

I have never used my phone for a 2FA. Is it safe?

What happens when I lose my phone?

Write down your serial number before putting it into app, keep the note in some safe place.

Are you talking about the backup codes?

There is no serial number mentioned in the instructions.

Can someone answer the question?

I'm using 2FA right now, but I think I will deactivate it. I don't want to lose my account with my phone.

you can rescan the original email to reactivate in the event of losing/getting new phone, you can also use a 2fa authenticator that lets you backup your accounts like authy.

I don't have a smart phone.  :(

I would like it Elysium latched to my IP, and did confirmations via email.

If you keep the original email, you are safe. You can just use that on another phone.

You don't need a phone. You can use 2FA with WinAuth which is a windows application.  A quick google and you'll find it.

Thanks. I was a bit confused, because I didn't have to register for the 2FA. I checked my emails and found the email by Elysium with the code.

I wrote it into my little password book. I should be safe now. :)
