JFC - what an annoying 3 days that was. I have no less than 20 messages in my PM's from folks who were responding to fake listings I created. At least 1 person was given an email address to send a Paypal F&F payment to (which was NOT my address!!)
Now I get to explain to a bunch of folks that it wasn't me.
Can we please get MFA going on this site as soon as possible? kthanx
Quoted from robin:Today, I have launched mandatory 2FA via e-mail for all logins on Pinside.
I have tried to make this as user friendly as possible:
- A login code is only required for a new login (or, you will never be bothered by this if you don't log out and visit Pinside at least once per month)
- Login codes are automatically sent to your e-mail when logging in from a new IP address
- Login codes are simple 6-character numeric codes. I.e. 565778
- On (modern) phones, the keyboard is automatically set to numeric input for the code field
- The code is put in the first line of the 'new login' email, in many cases you should be able to read it directly in your new email notification without opening the actual email.

I hope this is a huge step in preventing scammers from 'hacking' into well-established Pinside accounts.
Future plans: I will be adding a system that allows you to have a login code sent via SMS in the near future, for anyone who wants a second option of logging in (i.e. when your e-mail is not working).
If you run into any issues, let me know!
Fantastic. Thanks a ton. I'm sorry you had to be pushed into this.
