Not OP of this post, just came across it. I'm a heavy namecheap user, and will continue to use them, but this did make me a little concerned. From the post:
> so, setting up 2fa on namecheap prevents anyone from just logging into your account if your credentials get leaked or stolen. great, they can't just manage your domains. HOWEVER, the namecheap support portal (at http://support.namecheap.com http://support.namecheap.com) uses the same credentials for login BUT it never asks for 2fa. if you get leaked credentials you can just sign in to the support portal. because of how badly designed it is you can even change the support email for the account with no confirmation and no info being sent out to the old email.
> how is that a big deal?
> well, you can just open domain transfer tickets from the support portal and hijack domains anyways, you can probably even pretend to not understand how anything works and ask them to change dns for you, etc...
- philliphaydon 4y agoI only used support once many many years ago and was asked for a one time support code from the main account. So I never worried about the lack of 2factor. But now I worry…
