Two Factor Authentication Update In our recent State of the Universe Address, we announced plans to release a new two-factor authentication system later this year: MindArk is developing a new two-factor authentication system that will gradually replace the Gold Card Security System currently in use. This new system will be released as an app for popular mobile platforms for all Entropia Universe participants. This announcement sparked lots of speculation and discussion on community forums, so we wanted to clarify several points to address some of the concerns raised by participants. Account security is MindArk's highest priority; any new security option that is made available to participants will make Entropia Universe accounts more secure, not less. MindArk will continue to support the existing Gold Card Security System for participants already using the system, including after the release of the planned mobile two-factor authentication system described in the State of the Universe Address. Eventually the Gold Card Security System may no longer be offered for purchase in the future, though again, participants already using that system may continue to do so. The authentication system included in the planned Entropia Universe mobile application will natively integrate Google Authenicator, a well proven, highly secure industry-standard two-factor authentication solution. Rest assured that the security of Entropia Universe accounts is our highest priority. Our development team looks forward to offering increasingly more secure and flexible tools for Entropians to keep their accounts secure in the future. Continue reading...
Only good for those with smart phones, and using Google authenticator. PS. Please (MA) remember to spell-check your RSS feeds. re: "Google Authenicator"
