#14147 Two-Factor Authentication Guide

Posted by Volta on 08 November 2016 - 01:10 PM

As it seems a lot of people have been having issues regarding their accounts being hacked, I am making this thread to show you around the different two-factor authentication applications, and how to use them. You can have a Two-factor Authentication applications saved onto your mobile device, or your computer. Depending on your preference. But please; DON'T DELETE THE APPLICATION, OR WRITE DOWN THE BACKUP CODE.

 

  Two-factor Authentication (2FA) provides and extra layer of security for your account, generating a code which you need to enter once you login. If you have 2FA set-up, and fail to provide the code, you cannot have full access to the account. Once enabled, you have to initially enter a code to login to the Forums and In-game. It is strongly recommended to have 2FA enabled.

 

A list of Two-factor Authentication applications supported by Alora:

 

- Duo-Mobile

Most Two-factor Authentication are rather straight-forward. But in the future I will possibly add how to use each program if requested. As of right now, I use Duo-Mobile as my application and it works great.

Some Perks of Enabling 2FA:

  • Extra Security
  • Bonus EXP when redeeming Vote Books

Reminder: You must relog in game and enter in your 2fa code before you are able to get bonus EXP!
