I previously asked on [email protected] on how to migrate my account to a different instance as I got a error saying “email not verified” after completing my email verification (original post here: https://kbin.earth/m/[email protected]/t/1532246). This made question the security of kbin.earth. And now, I can’t enable 2FA! It says “Error enabling 2FA for account”! Seriously what the hell is going on in kbin.earth? To the developer of Interstellar- You shouldn’t have made kbin.earth the default instance when signing up from the Interstellar app if your instance has some serious security issues! I need answers NOW!
Well, a simple DB query gives us the answer.
There are 661 total local users ATM, only 32 of which have 2FA enabled. That gives us a measly 5%.
If you’re talking active (monthly) users, there are 161, only 19 of which have 2FA enabled. That turns out to be 11% (of active users).
Either way, it seems like 2FA is not generally used among users 🤷.
Ok, but it is used and seems to work. I wanted to know because there might have been the possibility that users tried to activate it, it didn’t work and they just left without saying something (that’s why I added the ‘active’ requirement).
