I forgot my memorable word on the UCP, can it be deleted and I can somehow make a new one?

All those complaining are pathetic. Gonna be funny when your shit gets hacked on day and you'll be like damn should've used this marvelous security update instead of complaining. On topic, thank you Mmartin.
Never got hacked in my life, fortunately. But I lost my UCP account due to the security password being outdated and how clingy the system gets for it. I lost about three million thanks to it and plenty of characters with hours and hours spent into. It's always good to have your account secured, but when you get shit on by the security system, you kinda just wanna kick it.

Will this also replace the current 2FA email system?


By the way, I just tested and it also works fine with google autenticator, in case people don't want to install another app.

Pretty much yeah. Except Steam has their own SteamGuard thing, which is proprietary and not standardized, so you can't add it to the rest of your auth keys.

Yeah, realized that. Well done, thanks for implementing new stuff. I have one question, is mail system going to be fixed anyways? Because I still don't have access to my in-game account because it requires verification and the message simply doesn't send to my mail address.

I did as much as I could with resolving that, the mails are sent but the mail server might be misconfigured so it gets flagged by some providers. I don't have access to that so I can't give you an ETA unfortunately.

However, I could make it so if you have the mobile 2FA set up, you verify through that instead of your email.

Does it have to be a QR code? I use bluestacks for all my authentications due to dropping my iPhone into a club toilet.

It also helps to write down the "secret code" given to you by the UCP when you're setting the 2FA up, this can be entered into the application manually (it's the same thing as scanning the QR code) and you'll be all set on your new phone/device.

So, basically if my phone likes fucking up and doesn't work properly and I want to join the tester/staff team eventually I won't be able to just because of this update? Damn... I hope I get a new phone eventually, as this thing looks a little too secure for me haaha.

Kind of the same like me. I forgot my secret word and registered for 2FA already. Can I somehow recover it?
