2 step verification???

[Joe Biggs]

So I've been using this account for a few months because I was locked out of my old one somehow. When I log in it tells me to enter the code generated by the app? I don't have a fucking clue what it's talking about can someone help me? I emailed Millard and he never responded.....

Download the app called "Authenticator" it will give you a code to log in.

Or you could just use your email address if you dont want to use that app and they will send you the code to your email.

I have the app and would recommend that. Its used for other things too like Coinbase.

What is your previous account?

Its called "Google Authenticator". I typed that in the app store and its the first thing that popped up. Icon looks white with a gray circle.

When your about to log in you can click to choose a different way to do 2 step verification and email address is a choice.

If you do the app or email address you will get a random code, and you will put it in and check off the box to allow the device your using to enter this site for 30 days. Every 30 days you will have to do this again, and if you use a different device you will have to do this. Its a good way to protect your account.

The code the app is generating isn't working. How do I link the app to meso or whatever? My apologies I'm not very hip to this type of shit. It's just manufacturing a 6 digit code but it won't work when I try to use it to log in meso. @SuperMaroid

 

[Joe Biggs]

This is what it says when I try to log into old account... so I go to the app and it generates a code but it doesn't work

Ok try this. On that screen you took the screenshot where it says "Alternative Method" click "Backup Codes"

After you click that there should be a screen that pops up letting you choose your email address, and the code will be sent there

Lol trying my best to help you. After trying this on my computer I had something to click called "email verification" and I didnt see that on your screenshot. So the only method I would say you could do is the app.

When I opened up the app it just gave me a code, I didnt have to link my account or anything.

I disabled 2 factor authentication. You can log in and set it up again with Google Authenticator mobile app now if you want.

Can I just not use the 2 step authentication? I've never had it before I don't know how I set it up I don't wanna use it anyway.
