Account Compromise

[SigmaOZ]

SE should increase security for service accounts, I doubt One-Time Passwords are strong enough to protect them.


Ideally I would like a fingerprint reader to authorize the player every time he/she logs into the game instead of typing username/password + OTP but that would require developing an app for smartphones that took advantage of that technology, it would probably eliminate phishing as a side benefit.


At the very least SE could add a "panic button" in-game to lockdown the account in case the player determines the credentials have been compromised.

Almost fell for this a few minutes ago, but something felt off with the link. Went through and put on 2FA and made sure passwords and such were updated. Glad I made sure to check the legit forums first before I got tapped. o7

I dont feel pity for someone not only risking their own account but to everyone that tell also gets sent to from your account now because they are lazy. Be smarter. Use brain.

I honestly appreciate posts like this because it brings awareness to other people. Should be common sense but people get curious, it's in our nature lol *shrug*

Well it's March 2023 and they are still doing this. I wasn't aware of it and seem to have been a target. Sent email to support but after reading these posts looks like i'm screwed.

Passkeys.


The easiest, most convenient form of security, I hope Square Enix becomes aware there is such a solution to all the cyber-crime going on around this game.

No offense, but they keep doing it because it keeps working. SE has posted notifications about it. The community has posted warnings constantly, for years.
