Hello ,
I have been a lego player since the 1980s.
I had an idea regarding safety issues.
The idea is if you can add the 2-step-autothenticator to the site , in a "security"
menu

https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid

to access any site after the login and password , the user has to enter the numbers
that generates the android autothentication on the smarthphone.

I think you have already thought about it !
Best Regards and Happy Holidays

According the late Steve Jobs from his Iphone launch in 2007 it is 3 devices
in one:

- Widescreen Ipod with touch controls
- Revolutionary mobil phone
- Breakthrough internet communication device.

Try search for his presentation on youtube - it's actually good fun and also
a bit scary

Please keep in mind that not everyone has a smart phone ( or a smart-aleck).

Ouch

Sorry we didn’t take the suggestion seriously enough 😅
but forum regulars have read about, oh two? three? dozens, suggestions about
2FA/MFA since November 8.


   but here is where you can read about it and "opt-in"
to One Time Pin security:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2615

Note that it’s for sellers only (and OP is a buyer).

Maybe hackers placing fake orders using the OP's account is a problem for
them. Although apparently no orders placed in almost two years would suggest
otherwise.

I wish the moderators of the forum could delete these post from "0" feedback
accounts, Its almost like spam.

Do we need suggestions from users on how to improve the site that have never
placed an order on Bricklink.

Its usually someone very critical of something, seems fishy to me.

We may forbid people spreading FUD also?

I mean, just an idea I've got.
