So it seems that there was a bug in the two factor authentication affecting "some accounts" during the recovery procedure (see the update to the article). Slightly worrying that the two factor authentication can be bypassed when resetting a password.
- boundlessdreamz 14y agoBut even after resetting the password, two factor authentication is needed to log in right? How was that bypassed?
- monopede 14y agoThe blog author didn't actually have two factor authentication enabled. The headline is wrong.
- Strom 14y agoYou are incorrect, quote from the article: all CloudFlare.com accounts use two-factor authentication. We are still working with Google to understand how the hacker was able to reset the password without providing a valid two-factor authentication token.
- boundlessdreamz 14y agoHe didn't have it for his personal account. But he did have it for cloudfare.com accounts.
