Get a Token!!!

[BakaChin]

Hey!

So im seeing a lot of threads of people saying their accounts got hacked....well....do you think it'll be a lot safer if you had a security token? And im not talking about the software/app token either...I mean a physical one...I have one and all i can say is im glad i did after seeing all these posts

Update: just so everyone is aware the point of this post is to let players know there are ways to enhance the security of your account...SE tried to address this issue and have given some pointers regarding these concerns

Really? Honestly, I haven't. Would be great if you could link one.

Can't really remember when it was, but think it was back during early access or close to it.

It's easy to steal someone account who uses a security token. However, it's less likely since the time window where the token is valid is short.

To steal the account the phishing site that gets the player to enter their username, password, and token would imminently need to login to the account.

To keep your account safe:
1. Never trust any email. If you can't tell it is a phishing email then don't follow links, instead open a browser and navigate to official site.
2. Never trust any 3rd party website. Never enter your login info on these sites.

It is possible to get hacked with security token, however that will require an intervention of a middleman with access to your pc while typing in token number

So far I've only seen two such threads, the first one was where the person removed the token and their account was hacked before they applied a new one. The second was a person who claimed that they had a security token added but it was later discovered that they hadn't.

As far as I'm aware the Security Token is still secure and hasn't been compromised.

I agree, as i said earlier i use one for work and i work for a major bank so im confident to say it should be very secure
