Why the need for sending a passcode through cell phone.

@troutbum , agreed.  I don’t carry my phone all over the house.  It sits on top of the microwave hutch in kitchen. My desktop computer is on the second floor of my home.  Most times my phone is downstairs and with my arthritis, going back down 13 stairs and then back up discourages me from visiting Audiogon.  That’s the main reason I’m not on as much as I used to be.  I’ve missed out on some good equipment being sold as well.  

You can change that in the settings, I believe. Remove the 2FA (multi-factor authentication) from your account, unless you have linked a credit card or PayPal to the Audiogon account.

But for all your emails and other “transactional” accounts, you MUST enable it. None of my business, of course, but it’s your life, money and credit. We are still years away from real-life quantum computing. But current hacking is far more  sophisticated and one phish can wreck you. Good luck!

It’s the times, crooks getting sophisticated so security trying to push 2 types of authentication. Seems if only 1 authentication, much easier target with today’s sophisticated computer program tools and expertise.

Missing the simpler days of cops n robbers.  

Big Brother (not the TV show).

Happy New Year!

My wife and I went to Puerto Rico recently. I was not allowed to login to Agon. I had  to laugh. It is easier to use my CC out of mainland USA,than to scan an audio forum. No other forum denied my access. I used my login info, which should not matter where I happen to be. Maybe in the future,I should check in with Agon and have my vacation authorized?
