Since this is a gaming article..
A soon to be released patch offers world of Warcraft players an in game upgrade (additional bag slots) for players with MFA setup. I would have thought this would be supported by a community.
Instead, the feedback I'm seeing everywhere us "it's just a scam to make you setup the authenticator, don't fall for it". I cannot fathom why people think this, when it's a free offering and protects you more than them.
It just shows how differing some community views are from the security community.
- MrStonedOne 6y agoMFA has made authentication less reliable. You can reset a lost password with an email and an automated process. You can not do this with 2fa on just about any 2fa enabled site I've seen. 2fa is a net gain in how likely you are to get locked out of your account, This is why nobody wants to use it.
- tialaramex 6y agoThey used to give you a Core Hound Pup pet (Core Hounds were huge dogs seemingly made of molten rock in what was once an end-game raid fight, but these days you can probably go pet one with a relatively low-level character) Bag slots do seem like a more concrete reward for using authenticators. I'm actually toying with what sort of trivial reward would be appropriate for using WebAuthn to sign into an archaic PHP-based web site we built last century, I wrote a PHP WebAuthn implementation for it and it'd be fun to give people some silly reward for turning it on.
