Hi! : -)
So, with so many cyber incidents/data leaks happening I was wondering if an option for 2FA could be implemented for the client! I haven't given much thought as to how this would work out for xbox players since I personally play on PC, but the option would be nice! I was also wondering if this option could be considered for forum accounts as well?
Since we're using our xbox/microsoft accounts to log in, would you say these accounts are secure enough to warrant 2FA to be deemed unnecessary in this case?
If I remember correctly, if you try to login somewhere Microsoft doesn't recognize it snags you until you can verify yourself.
True, but I've never had 2FA for my auxillary MS accounts. (Ex. Xbox, Mixer, Etc.) Typically 2FA is only enabled for the actual email account, not for anything else. Maybe it's unnecessary, but the extra layer of security would be nice. : -)
This is something that I will look into soon, I am curious as well. I totally agree, safeguarding your account is a must. It makes you feel more secure when buying in game content too.
After talking with one of my Microsoft buddies, they did confirm that it is automatically enabled on every account email or not. I also tried connecting to my account from Japan, France, and Poland and I received a 2 factor authentication message.

If ever there are other ways to login, I think it will be considered for the client and website. In the Japanese version they give you extra storage for enabling the 2 factor authentication.
