Hey guys
there are some phishing emails around and hackers are everywhere trying to steal our beloved money and BAPs, so I strongly urge you to add 2 Factor Authentication to your pv/mtv account.
Even if you don´t have a smartphone, you can have it.
I wrote a little tutorial here on how to proceed.

Catt thanks for the tutorial. I did activate 2FA using chrome. I could login using the 2FA code but when I log out and try again to loin without putting the code I could login too.

@sidcandid
you shouldn´t be able to login without the 2FA if you activated it in your account... please verify if it is working right and if it is you might need to open a ticket. I got 2FA activated and go nowhere without it, it won´t let me login at all.

How to activate it? I can use the code when login and have the app installed in Chrome but in my account it says it is not enable. What code I put there to activate?

Ok, so here it goes. Did some researching for this grin

How to use Two Factor Authentication without a smartphone grin

1. Go to https://winauth.com/ , download and extract it (it's a zip with an executable in it)
2. Open it and click Add > Authenticator


3. Go to PaidVerts > My Account > Account Data and click Enable the Two Factor Authentication
4. Enter the code from PaidVerts into WinAuth
5. Click Verify Authenticator and enter the second code to paidverts till the time runs out (!!)


6. Click Save on paidverts
7. Click OK on winauth. Enter a password (you will be prompted for it each time you open the program)
8. Now login




ta-daa!

you're supposed to take the 6 digit code from software (until the timer expires) and enter it into paidverts' login page
