I previously asked on AskMbin@thebrainbin.org on how to migrate my account to a different instance as I got a error saying “email not verified” after completing my email verification (original post here: https://kbin.earth/m/AskMbin@thebrainbin.org/t/1532246). This made question the security of kbin.earth. And now, I can’t enable 2FA! It says “Error enabling 2FA for account”! Seriously what the hell is going on in kbin.earth? To the developer of Interstellar- You shouldn’t have made kbin.earth the default instance when signing up from the Interstellar app if your instance has some serious security issues! I need answers NOW!
Regarding 2FA maybe it was a hiccup. What would interest me: is there a statistic about how many (active) users have 2FA enabled?
Well, a simple DB query gives us the answer.
There are 661 total local users ATM, only 32 of which have 2FA enabled. That gives us a measly 5%.
If you’re talking active (monthly) users, there are 161, only 19 of which have 2FA enabled. That turns out to be 11% (of active users).
Either way, it seems like 2FA is not generally used among users 🤷.
Ok, but it is used and seems to work. I wanted to know because there might have been the possibility that users tried to activate it, it didn’t work and they just left without saying something (that’s why I added the ‘active’ requirement).
If the time is not good enough synced. You might also get issues. Be sure both the server and any device (pc, mobile laptop…) is synced with a accurate time server.
