Why the need for sending a passcode through cell phone.


....to log on? This isn't my bank account, or my secret chat room with my lady friends (shhh). Maybe others do, but my cell is not attached to my hip. Very annoying when you have to upstairs to get your phone after trying to log on. This stuff has gone way too far. IMO....let the pelting begin.

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.  

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?

I am tired of proving I am a human.

 

Amen, brother. This site is close to useless.  Literally 8 or 10 "prove you are human" what just scanning a couple categories or topics.
