2FA Removal

Hi Mods,

My name is Wulfspade1, and I need to remove 2FA from my account. I upgraded my phone awhile back, and that fucked up my authentication app. I set it up a long time ago, so I unfortunately didn't save that backup code.

My IP should indicate that I'm posting from my home? Not sure if I ever manually entered my phone number in my account settings. I'm also unsure of which email addresses I used on Sythe since sometimes I made accounts specifically for Skype, and since I haven't used them in god knows how long, I kind of forgot. I don't want to mention what those email addresses could be for personal reasons publicly, but I made a gmail account so I can communicate that with any of you if need be: [redacted]

I used to be a moderator on this site. I mention that because it might help if I talk about how the staff lounge used to operate back when I was a mod? That should verify my identity since I believe there are still staff around that used to moderate back then, as well. I can do this through email if one of you would like to email me. Thanks, and I apologize for the inconvenience!

 

Hey Wulfspade1,

All sensitive information will be hidden from the public.

Please provide the following:

• Registered email, hint: *re*v****g@y****.***
• Previous ISP/Log in locations:
• If your registered birthday is your actual birthday, please provide proof of this in the form of an ID.
• If your registered email contains your real name, please provide proof of this in the form of an ID.
• Donation date/proof of donation:
• If you can not provide the above, please have someone reputable verify your identity. i.e ex staff/staff. You can have them contact me on Sythe.

Keep in mind - do not edit your information in. Make a new post and i'll merge the threads together.

 

Hi Gen,

Thank you for getting back to me! My registered email is [redacted]. My current/previous ISP, at least recently, is [redacted]. The primary location that I have logged in from recently is [redacted]. Is this sufficient?

 

Hey,

Unfortunately that is not enough to warrant a 2FA removal.

Please provide the following on your home IP rather than mobile

• If your registered birthday is your actual birthday, please provide proof of this in the form of an ID.
• If your registered email contains your real name, please provide proof of this in the form of an ID.
• Donation date/proof of donation:
• If you can not provide the above, please have someone reputable verify your identity. i.e ex staff/staff. You can have them contact me on Sythe.

 

Hi Gen,

Ah, my bad! I'm posting on my home IP now, so hopefully this registers? I got a new router in the last year, so I don't know if that changes my IP or something?

 

Hi Gen,

Sorry for the thread spam, but I just wanted to add that most of my donations were through RSGP. I believe I donated through Plznate for my biggest one? Also, I remember that one of my "donations," which was $0.00, was for "being too sexy," or something along those lines. This donation was done through Matthew because he wanted to test something I believe, and I asked him in the IRC if he could add that statement.

 

Thanks for replying, but I do still need the previously requested information from you if possible:

 

Hi Gen,

I'm just trying to create the most concrete case I can for removing my 2FA. I believe you have the ability to look at my donations, right? I think that 'donation' through [redacted] is something that no one would know except for me. I believe my other donation(s) were though The Black Tux and/or Time to Buy? Not 100% sure on that, but I know my total donations amount to like $66 or something? It's more than $50, but definitely less than $100-75.

Please see below for my driver's license that confirms my home state, town, and birth date. I blacked out all the information I wasn't comfortable sharing (which don't matter anyway).

Hopefully you understand the extra security measures taken on ex staff member accounts. That being said, i've disabled 2fa on your account. Be sure to re-enable 2fa on your account and keep the long code somewhere safe in case you find yourself locked out again - you can use this code once as a 2fa code entry so that you can log in and manually disable it yourself.
