Any Plans on Two-Step Authentication of Our Accounts?

Like the title says - any chance of protecting our investment in Daz assets with 2FA? I understand a lot of it falls to the user and not choosing '12345' as a password, but the added security for our purchases would be appreciated and peace of mind.

That's a question/suggestion for Daz - https://www.daz3d.com/help/help-contact-us
If someone breaks into your account, how are your past purchases in any jeopardy? They can't "unbuy" them. They can't delete them. What am I not seeing?
If you store the credit card info on the site, that could indeed be an issue. Although most payments these days require 2FA at the bank's level anyway, so they wouldn't be able to do anything with your card data without your phone, or your other means of authentication.
maybe someone is getting a divorce and fighting over their shared DAZ assets
That's a good point. I guess in the end, I just like the peace of mind of having the 2FA option for my online accounts.
lol... that's another scenario :P
It's a personal, non-transferable license. :D
same household no longer and each claiming to be customer
the acount could be Victoria Micheal Oursurname
Please no!!! I already have way to many places i have to jump thru extra hoops at to log in and view my account info, don't want DAZ to be another!
I recently found out how to block text numbers and went happy clearing out everyone I had no idea who they were, including one that liked to add a cartoon to their texts. Last week, I tried to log in to Social Security/Medicare and found that two-step system, waited, waited, and waited for the text message. Went back to the text messages I had blocked, and unblocked the cartoon, and what do you know, it was a .gov text message! Got into my account finally.
My flat mate has an old cell phone he loves, pre-smart phone, it takes him two hours to get a text message for that confirmation for his website so he can update it.
Me, I never leave financial data on Daz or other stores. And my financial accounts and government accounts get the most awful complex, unable to remember passwords that are changed every 60 days. Drives me nuts, but... better than someone clearing out accounts.
And when I cleared my cache so Ati's add-on would work again, I got to go through the challenge response all over again for everyone. Sigh. Please, not another one.
Personally, I find the idea of "everything" being turned over to online transactions & such to be rather stupid in an age where pretty much all computers are connected to the same internet, globally. heh, on the one hand, some would sacrifice freedom for security, while on the other, they would sacrifice security for convenience. Is this not some sort of paradox?
+1 to that! I already have two-step when I use a card to buy a GC, I'd hate to have to fiddle about to then spend it.
I'm guessing you're aussie? :) I hate that mygov site. ATO will ONLY accept you receiving a text message on your mobile to be able to log in, which I didn't know - and because I hate using my mobile I changed it all to secret question instead of text message..only to discover I could no longer link my ATO to it. GUH. Had to switch it back and ring ATO and go through everything AGAIN to link it. The only reason I own a mobile phone is because of that stuff - and having to receive a code via text from our banks when we transfer money etc. Oh and also cos our landline phone died in January and I'm STILL WAITING for the phone I ordered from Telstra (cos there are no phone shops at all where I live) to arrive, so everyone has to ring me on the mobile and I have a bad habit of swiping the wrong way when answering it and disconnecting the call. Ugh. I want to go back to when I never had a mobile!!!!!!
2FA is not the be all and end all of security. Hackers have many ways of beating it.
You can't check out with a stored card without entering the card verification number.
I was laughed at on facebook by people when I said I was surprised Coles service desk don't have a phonebook when I lost my Visa card early morning shopping when they were the only thing open and I needed my bank's number to use the public phone.
I guess we just get OK Boomer said to us now.
When we moved here 5 months ago, you imagine my absolute shock when we went to the post office to set up a post office box (cos there is NO mail delivery to houses in this town, which was another massive shock) when I saw not 1, but TWO public phonebooths there! And then a bit further down the road, there is actually ANOTHER ONE just across from the waterfront. Been a long time since I saw a public phonebooth in the wild. I didn't stop to see if they had phone books attached to them tho. LOL
It'll only confuse 'em ;)

If someone hacks your account they can change the password and then you cannot access your own account. Hijacked!
In that case, you ask for a new password, and you're in again. 5 seconds max.
Only incompetent hackers would leave it that easy. If they can change the PW they have access to your email already. So they can very easily change that PW or change the email of your DS account.
Your email already has 2FA, I hope. So that's not too likely to happen. But if it does, you reset your email password, and again: problem solved.
Seriously though, if someone has already hacked your 2FA-protected email account, then another 2FA on the Daz site won't help. And all this to do what? Download your assets that they can get way more easily from elsewhere?
Nope, American, live in Denver Colorado. Other side of the Rockies from DAZLand. Same time zone. I think all governments/agencies have an evilness to their access levels. It is inherent to the nature of the beast.
My experiences in Europe and Asia are prior to the Internet, so can't say how bad or good they are, but I expect they can be as convuluted as any other system that is possible.
it would be an excellent way of discouraging me by making me jump through hoops to buy stuff
save me money
2FA is pointless. I never said it wasn't.
I hope not, I ditched cellphones back when the blackberry were the big thing, and haven't gotten another one since lol.
It's impossible to figure out my password, it's PASSWORD... it's so simple nobody would guess it.
Unless the hacker is so stupid that he takes the sentence "Enter password" above the input field literal...
I've been a fan of six * for throw-away passwords.
