Those are all good practices that go a long way, but …they hardly mean much. Thousands of people with up to date browsers and antivirus got infected each time, without clicking a thing. And those are just a few popular websites people care about.
There is no way to completely avoid exposure to this stuff short of not being on the internet. And good malware is patched and recrypted regularly so the people who are infected might never detect that infection even with up to date anti virus they better pray they have a suite with good heuristics because you can not rely on signatures alone. Accounts get farmed with phishing emails and malware that can harvest credentials when you log into this very website, or to your game.
The remediation process takes time and money away from development. Posted by: Healix. No need to install anything. Simply use a javascript authenticator in your browser. Although easy to steal since it would be in plain text, it can also be far more secure than WinAuth or using an app on a mobile device.
Simply obfuscate it and display the code somewhere only you know where to look. The minute you said that people are getting viruses and stuff from no fault of their own your credibility was shot. Stay off of shady sites and you have no issue. Posted by: Seera. Posted by: Brother Grimm. Brother Grimm. Also, you do realize that arguing this point in these forums is a waste of your time assuming you actually WANT someone to do something about your complaint.
That kind of thinking highlights your naivety. Some of us investigate cyber crime for a profession, reverse engineer malware by top APT groups, and help victims remediate their networks after intrusions.
Those attacks required no victim interaction other than visiting some of the most popular portals on the web: the browser executes the malicious scripts when rendering the page. You can find plenty more on your own. You just leave there the harassing message, not caring if someone wants to use their phone or not??? This is not cooperating wit the community at all! And you know it. Posted by: Moira Shalaar. Moira Shalaar. Ten years ago this was mostly true.
These days this is no longer the case. The above linked article is simply a case in point, and this comes up with regularity every couple of months now. I used to work IT professionally and specialized in dealing with malware outbreaks on corporate networks. Things have only gotten more difficult from a security standpoint since then. I commend your dedication and attentiveness to your own personal electronic security.
However there will always be a tradeoff between convenience and safety with greater levels of security only coming at the sacrifice of convenience.
You are unhappy about being inconvenienced and that is understandable. From a business standpoint ANET is required to look at a much larger picture in balancing the tradeoff between the two, and they have chosen to land on the side of greater security at the expense of a measure of user convenience warnings and privacy sharing phone number.

It is still true. If you have plugins like Flash and Java installed it is your own fault if you get a virus. Both are obsolete in the age of Html5.
Furthermore smart people have addons such as Noscript and AdBlock Plus set to no exceptions installed for additional security….
Sadly not all content providers have caught up with that fact insert unnamed major TV streaming site. Certainly wise use of best practices will avert the vast majority of internet problems, but unfortunately not all of them.
Bringing this back to the topic at hand, multistep authentication is well on its way to becoming one of those commonly accepted best practices, whether we as users like it or not. I realize there are not many people with this many accounts, but I imagine trying to force this security option on people will make them feel stressed instead of happy.. That is an amazing number of accounts and I can certainly understand where you would have a large measure of.
May I ask, and only for curiosity sake, how you manage to play across that many accounts? Please do not take this as criticism for I certainly mean none. Posted by: Beldin. Its really annoying to get that message so often. There is a desktop version of the authenticator that can be used if a person does not have nor wants a cell phone. You simply have to enter your username, then approve the notification sent to your phone.
Your fingerprint, face ID, or PIN will provide a second layer of security in this two step verification process. After, you'll have access to all your Microsoft products and services, such as Outlook, OneDrive, Office, and more.
Microsoft Authenticator also supports multi factor authentication for work, school, and non-Microsoft accounts. The app provides a second layer of security after your password. When logging in, you'll enter your password, and then you'll be asked for an additional way to prove it's really you. Either approve the notification sent to the Microsoft Authenticator, or enter the verification code generated by the app. Sometimes your work or school might ask you to install the Microsoft Authenticator when accessing certain files, emails, or apps.
You will need to register your device to your organization through the app and add your work or school account. Microsoft Authenticator also supports cert-based authentication by issuing a certificate on your device. This will let your organization know that the sign-in request is coming from a trusted device and help you seamlessly and securely access additional Microsoft apps and services without needing to log into each. Because Microsoft Authenticator supports single sign-on, once you have proven your identity once, you will not need to log in again to other Microsoft apps on your device.
We're always working on new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Make sure you stay updated with the latest version for the best authentication experience. Watch approval stopped working for me.
I only can approve from the phone. Sign in request keeps on lagging one minute it works and then after it dosent. Please make it consistent. There is a better way. With one system, we can substantially improve both account security and account recovery. Some of you have already secured your accounts using traditional two-factor authentication, connecting an app like Google Authenticator to your account. We think SMS will be a better solution than authenticators for most people.
The two solutions are almost identical for security: we challenge you whenever you log in from a new location, and you respond to the challenge either by typing a code you got from an SMS message or by typing a code you got from Google Authenticator. For account recovery, though, SMS is the clear winner. We require a legitimate cell phone or landline phone number, not something like Google Voice, and we verify the phone number.
We strongly recommend that you use one of these two systems to protect your account. Your existing account security has stood the test of time. The accounts that are at high risk of being stolen are newly created accounts. As a player, the worst thing about having your account stolen is losing your gold and items. If you want the mini dragon today, you can of course sign up for two-factor authentication immediately.
