Hi everyone, Two-factor authentication (2FA) is now mandatory for forum users who log in with a RIPE NCC Access account. If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to enable 2FA on your Access account to be able to log in, we have a ‘how to’ page on the RIPE NCC website: [Two-Factor Authentication — RIPE Network Coordination Centre](https://ripe.net/2fa) ---

I tried to use a Chrome plugin for 2FA but the one I tried didn’t work, I prefer 2FA to be web-based but it’s probably incompatibility issues. It was solved using FREEOTP Thank you for increasing the level of security in RIPE accounts! ---
