How much adoption for the two-factor are we seeing? I know it just launched, but still.asked by ChinaShopRodeo
TL;DRHe has no adoption numbers for the new multi-factor authentication, but says the company is very pleased with the rollout, and explains how to enable it in account settings with any authenticator app.
On Tuesday, was it Tuesday? I feel like it was Tuesday. We rolled out multi-factor authentication from our friends at Turbulent. Multi-factor authentication has been a long-wanted, long-needed feature for Star Citizen. It's a needed feature in just about every MMO these days, especially popular ones. So that rolled out. I don't have the adoption numbers. I was going to try to get those. I was asked earlier this week. I was on StarCast. I was asked on StarCast, and I said I tried to get the numbers. I did not get the numbers. I know that we're very, very, very pleased with the rollout numbers, though, just from the timbre of the internal emails I've seen about it. So I don't have hard numbers for you, but I know we're very pleased with the rollout, with how many people are adopting it. And if you haven't signed up for multi-factor authentication, you can do so now on the robertsspaceindustries.com website. Just log into your account profile, go to settings, and there'll be a new security section under your settings, and you can enable multi-factor, and you can use just about any mobile authenticator program you want. There's programs on iOS, there's programs on Android, and there's programs on Windows Phone for the three of you who use Windows Phone. So we're not shoehorning you into a specific app. You can use whichever app you want that's compatible. And there's a list of them on the page.
And just like everything else, it goes without saying, it's going to continue to evolve and change and grow and become better and stronger and faster.
