[DE]Danielle Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Greetings Tenno! As many of you know, Warframe uses a Two-Factor Authentication system (2FA) to help provide account security for our PC Tenno. In an effort to help people better find help documents and report issues, we are giving this system a name: TennoGuard 2FA! The base benefits (such as the Fae Path Ephemera) and process are the same as the previous, unnamed system - the details of which can be found on this support page: https://digitalextremes.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360028551411-Warframe-Two-Factor-Authentication-FAQ If you have any issues with TennoGuard 2FA, you will find a convenient button on our support pages to help you navigate to the appropriate area. Remember, TennoGuard 2FA is required for PC players wishing to use the in-game trading system, so sign up and protect your account, Tenno!

Durhon Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Why can't we have a system where we can hook it up to Google Authenticator or something? I play on GeforceNow and having to wait for an e-mail everytime I play is a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarterdane Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So one of the two factors is your Warframe login credentials ("something you know"), whereas the other one is access to your email... which in itself relies on your email credentials ("something you know"), and optionally a 2FA system for that account - e.g. an authenticator token/app thing ("something you have"), or some manner of biometric authentication ("something you are"). As such, does it really count as 2FA if you can't guarantee that "something you know" isn't the only authenticating factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylo. Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 New name, still not a proper 2FA though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iStarTAC Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Add a real 2FA solution made by your own or using 3rd party tools. I don't feel any safer with this one, adding to the hassle of using email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajbinder Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 get a better 2fa lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arsonistic Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 2FA is 2FA. Adding some BS to the name is pointless complication for no good reason.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason, to provide better support. Because of providing support to players with xbox 2fa, playstation 2fa, switch 2fa, twitch 2fa, steam 2fa, epic 2fa, not to mention any other 2fa that belongs to localized service providers (such as the online services in China), it stands to reason that having the name will just make it clearer for making explanations to Tenno in need. 4 hours ago, Durhon said: having to wait for an e-mail everytime I play is a hassle. Every time? Is that normal? I only needed to activate two factor authentication for my PC just once. If you need to practice 2FA every time you log into Warframe, is something wrong?

Some people have trouble since the 2FA stores in a local file, using something like GeForce now won't save those files apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like vanaukas said it's cause I use Geforce Now which is a Cloud Gaming service, and since it's almost always booting up a different rig for a new session it detects it as a new machine.

Leyvonne Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 And here I was getting all excited about finally getting proper 2FA.. oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedVoidDragon Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I too would like to take a moment to remind you that your 2FA isn't real 2FA and to get a real system. "Something you know that could possibly be the same as the other thing you know" isn't real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, does it really count as 2FA if you can't guarantee that "something you know" isn't the only authenticating factor? 100% this. Don't go rebranding a "2FA" system that you hadn't even fleshed out yet. Let's get some TOTP in here. Do that, then you can call it whatever you want.. Hopefully everyone in here has proper token two factor to access their email at least - i'd recommend that anyway but that's at least a 'something you have' on the inner-walls. Not ideal, i know, but better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
