Support NeoGAF

[Very Berry Sunday]

Something like this could happen. What other websites should you enable 2 factor and change passwords?

 

[Blam]

Google, Era, Apple, Bank, PayPal, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

Put it on literally everything.

 

[Commander Jameson]

Everywhere that supports it.

Amazon, Microsoft (Xbox Live), Slack, Wordpress, GitHub

 

[ASAP]

Google, Era, Apple, Bank, PayPal, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

Put it on literally everything.

QFT

 

[Helen Keller the Musical]

Even FIMfiction has it, it’s pretty nice

I didn't know PayPal has 2FA!

I didn't either. I had to google how to set it up because its buried in their settings for some reason.

Thanks for the heads up, OP.

Not sure why you wouldn't share the steps but I will.

Log into your PayPal Account, got to settings and then to the Security tab. Now go to Security Key.

Security key
Set up a PayPal Security Key by entering a one-time pin that's unique for each login. This gives you a second authentication factor whenever you log in to your account. That's fancy talk for a super secure account!

Brain fart. My bad

This is what I do and for anything important I'm starting to create whole new email accounts that I only use for that one thing.

And I'm starting to think of getting a separate computer to only use for business things.

You should consider a VM before doing that. Much better use of your resources.

You could run Linux in it for free. But don't assume Linux itself is the answer for security.

My neckbeard is nowhere near long enough to understand anything you just said there.

But I will research it.

Anything that touches my bank account or is valuable in it's own right (PSN, XBL, Steam) has 2FA and of course my Gmail so no one can fuck around and change my passwords.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Paypal allows those sorts of transactions for a normal user of their services without locking down the account?

My bank texts me and immediately calls me the first time they see something out of the ordinary and if I don't respond quickly they lock the account.

 

[OrionFalls]

I didn’t know about PayPal’s 2FA, but I’ve activated it now.

 

[llien]

Scary shit.

Google, Era, Apple, Bank, PayPal, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.

Post there but couldn't care less about fb, instagram, twitter. Lol at era.

 

[Belker]

I activated on my PayPal because of this thread. Thanks, OP. It was the push that I needed.

 

[pants]

count me in as someone now aware of paypal 2FA

 

[masterwizy]

nice paypal PSA

 

[Commander Jameson]

I didn't know about the PayPal 2FA. Added that now. Thanks.

This is a useful check of websites that support 2FA.

[Very Berry Sunday]

Good idea to implement PayPal 2FA before the shopping rush begins. Don't want to start it with an empty account.

 

[hikarutilmitt]

Wait, PayPal support software tokens now? Thank god. It was annoying having to get sent the SMS any time I logged into it ever.

EDIT: well, it was dumb and you have to use the Symantec key, but it's done.

 

[JC Lately]

I use 2fa anywhere that has it.

Just discovererd while trying to save my Miiverse posts that even Nintendo has it now.
