2FA is now compulsory for everyone who has been a member for six months and who has 1,000 posts. If you're not forced to enable it, we strongly encourage you to enable it anyway.
ok, i don't understand, i assume some random forum rule?You just hit 1000 posts.
ok it makes sense now, yer i just noticed the for sale stuff this morning.As andy says you've just hit 1000 posts and long enough for access to the members market which triggers the 2 step authentication as a way to help protect members market (we had several accounts that gotcompromised due to reuse of login details from other sites and tried to scam people).
I think there might be a way to lock yourself out of MM and thus not need the 2 step but i'm pretty tired at the moment and can't remember the details or if that was just something we looked at doing.
have done, i put them on a USB with the ones for my gaming accountsAfter you’ve enabled it, make sure you take a copy of your backup codes.
