Backup codes for Two Factor Authentication?

Hay BA Team and or other blender artists.

It’s awesome to see the new system has Two Factor Authentication YAY! :grin:

I was wondering if this system supports Two Factor Authentication backup codes as well as i could not find them in the settings? Backup codes have saved me a few times with other services :smile:

And to the BA Team Awesome job on the website :grin:

Doesn’t seem like they do at this time no. But this feature has been recently developed; I’m sure it’ll be added.

I asked about it here:

If i was to lose my 2 factor authentication codes, would i be locked out of my account or does the i forgot my password bypass the hole system? Do you know?

I don’t know. But you’ll always have us :slight_smile:

By the way, the Discourse team already replied (fast!) - backup codes are on the roadmap for the 2.1 release. I’m not sure how far out that still is though.

Awesome! It was not a big deal, i just wanted to know if i was missing a big red button that said enable backups :wink:

And as you said i always have you and the BA Team, help if i really messup :smile:

PS. you say they have fast reply so do you :smile:

That’s the huge advantage of discourse - seeing messages and notifications in real time. It REALLY speeds up the conversation :heart:

I had to update my phone OS. I lost the two factor authentication account :frowning:

Anyway I can get the account back to use for this site :confused: ?

Sorry for the late reply. I checked, but your account does not have 2FA enabled.

Update: you can now find 2FA backup codes in your account preferences under the 2FA settings.

My main account does, can’t log in with it bc lost the two factor account link :frowning:

Ah well, you didn’t tell me that :slight_smile: Please email me at bart@blenderartists.org with the account name. Make sure you email me from the address that’s associated with that account as I’ll need to verify it.

PS: Why do you have two accounts?

Ah sorry I didn’t mention it first :slight_smile: I have two accounts bc I had to make a new one to be able to post this problem I have.
