Protect your account with two-factor authentication!

Posted by StringerBell5


You asked for it, and we’re delivering! Today, all Listnook users have the option to enable [two-factor authentication](https://i.redd.it/2y66bw0sapb01.gif) for an additional layer of account security. We have been [slowly rolling this feature out](https://www.listnook.com/r/modnews/comments/7bfoqg/twofactor_authentication_now_available_for/), starting with beta testers, moderators, and third-party app developers, to ensure a positive experience across devices. Your feedback has been incredibly valuable, from pointing out bugs to recommending features. Thank you to everyone involved in testing. Two-factor adds more security to your Listnook account by requiring a second step to sign in. In this case, if you opt into 2FA, you’ll access a 6-digit verification code generated by your phone after a new sign-in attempt. With two-factor enabled, even if someone else obtained your Listnook username and password, they still could not log in as you. You can enable two-factor by selecting the [password/email](https://www.listnook.com/prefs/update/) tab under your preferences on desktop. Select **enable** under _two-factor authentication_ and follow the steps given to you. And make sure to generate your backup codes in the event your phone is unavailable! You can find more help in our [Help Center](https://www.listnookhelp.com/en/categories/using-listnook/your-listnook-account/how-set-two-factor-authentication). Two-factor is supported across desktop, mobile, and third-party apps. It requires an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or any app supporting the TOTP protocol) to generate your 6-digit verification code. A few handy security reminders: * Choose a strong and unique password. We recommend at least 8 characters. And don’t reuse the same password on Listnook as other sites! * Add a verified email address. Email is the only way for us to reset your account. (We do require a verified email for setting up two-factor authentication since the account can be lost if, for example, you lose your phone). * Check your [account activity](https://www.listnook.com/account-activity) for recent logins. It’s a good idea to look at this page from time to time to make sure there’s nothing fishy going on. Thanks!

"Pivoting" is turning around, and it was a typo that should have just been "voting" or "upvoting", but I was pretending it was "pi-voting", which I interpreted to mean, "voting in increments of pi". Pi, of course, is the number 3.14159265...
67
Serpardum Jan 24, 2018 +40
Oh. I took at as pivoting in place is going around a point so you are making an arc of a circle. But I guess pi voting works too.

RoboticPlayer Jan 24, 2018 +83
It requires you to validate with 2FA any time you log into your account. If you stay logged in, you won't have to. But for example if you switch accounts, you'll have to re validate.

You could add another parameter for a unique device string. These are unique per account. Then on the server side, you allow users to store and deactivate the device strings. They commonly attach human readable names to them like "Home PC." This is how every 2FA I've used does it. Google, Apple.

Firefox also has a feature where certain tabs are treated as separate browsers with their own cookies and therefore account logins
40
SpecialGuestDJ Jan 24, 2018 +36
This is not a native feature, it is an add-on called "Multi-account containers". Previous add-ons were called "Priv8" or "Private Tab"; these are no longer compatible with FF Quantum 57+.
36
the_noodle Jan 24, 2018 +28
I saw it in a Mozilla blog post similar to this, if it's developed by Mozilla themselves then it doesn't make any difference whether it's an addon or a setting, it's just as much of a feature either way. https://blog.mozilla.org/firefox/introducing-firefox-multi-account-containers/
28

Yep that's the one! It used to be a native feature but got moved to an extension. I can't tell if the extension works on Android/IOS or if that even matters.

It's so funny how much listnook has changed. Listnook was great because of it's anonymity. Now they "encourage" you to provide your email/phone/etc? The point of listnook was that listnook didn't know your email/phone/etc. Edit: It's funny how so many shill accounts are pushing the "4chan" defense. As if anonymity would turn listnook into 4chan.

Email is standard password recovery, not exactly strange. ~~You're only giving your phone number if you want 2FA.

Nathan2055 Jan 24, 2018 +497
> You're only giving your phone number if you want 2FA. And you're not even doing that. Like most modern sites, they adopted TOTP (authenticator apps) instead of the now proven insecure SMS message method. Those don't require you to provide a phone number, or even for you to have a phone.

brownej Jan 24, 2018 +221
This is no surprise. Banks have the worst security systems ever. Passwords are case-insensitive, must be between 6 and 8 characters long, must only include alphanumeric characters, and must be "password"
221
ThatsSoBravens Jan 24, 2018 +99
Oh, I see you have an account with Chase prior to 2016 as well.

brownej Jan 24, 2018 +30
Just for clarity, are you saying Chase post 2016 has reasonable security? Because that's something I've not heard of when it comes to financial institutions ever.
30
ThatsSoBravens Jan 24, 2018 +49
Their password requirements are more sane now - previously they wouldn't let you use special characters and had a maximum length of 16, possibly some other ones I don't recall. Any time there's a max length on passwords (and it's not, like, 32+ characters) the site should be considered insecure.
49
BitLooter Jan 25, 2018 +30
> and it's not, like, 32+ characters Even then be suspicious. A max password length of any size implies they could be storing the password instead of its hash, a major security blunder. EDIT: Yes, I understand you may want to limit it to avoid attacks. However, anything larger than ~300-500 would not realistically matter, there would be no need to say "don't use the latest draft of your novel as a password" in the requirements.

I mean, we need to be clear. It's a **lot** better than no 2FA at all. All "proven insecure" means is people can either intercept SMS message transmissions, or they can social engineer your mobile provider in order to hijack your mobile account The first of those requires heist movie levels of coordination. The latter... not so much, unfortunately :(

VMorkva Jan 24, 2018 +31
Even if you use 2FA you don't need to give them your phone number. You use one of the many apps for that.

you don't need to supply your phone number, you can use an Open Source TOTP token generator ("authenticator") like FreeOTP.

FerusGrim Jan 24, 2018 +79
Offering your email and phone number are both entirely optional, for password recovery and 2FA respectively. People who _want_ to be anonymous can still totally do that. But, I do see your point. Listnook isn't _just_ an anonymous discussion board, anymore. Not that that's inherently bad, obviously, but it _has_ changed.

No, no. Four factor authentication. One friend has the username, one has the password, one uses the authenticator app. Now we just need to implement some biometrics for some legit 5FA protection.
59
Porso7 Jan 24, 2018 +14
The phone with the 2FA app is locked with your fingerprint, but the app has an extra lock on it that only your friend know the password to. Now what would 6FA look like?

Can't chrome show you the stored passwords? I use FireFox, and it can.

dbcoopers_alt Jan 24, 2018 +36
It's not even stored in the chrome password manager. It's just like an active session or something. I think I can extract it from a cookie, but I tried for like 5 minutes the other day and couldn't figure it out and then I gave up.

JoshuaaMichael Jan 24, 2018 +560
Feedback! After I enabled 2FA. I was able to disable it whilst being still logged into my account, but without being prompted for a 2FA code or generated backup code. I checked using Incognito mode, logging in cleanly, and I was still able to disable it without requiring a 2FA code. So before if a co-worker/spouse/friend jumped my computer they already weren't able to change my Listnook password without me having the option of resetting it to my email, but now they can click 2 buttons to enable 2FA and I get locked out of my own account with no method of recourse to get it back. -_- This isn't a good design, especially with a "log me out from everywhere button". I don't want to scope creep the project, but that seems like it should be within reasonable security scope/threat model. But I do understand the trade off, people losing their phones and such. So I would think the solution may be best left up to the user. An SMS notification perhaps, but people's number may change when they lose their phone anyway too. SMS is not secure, but anyone who knows that would be using a seperate option which would be a default unchecked checkbox which says "I agree that I must provide a 2FA code, or a backup code, to deactivate 2FA OR THIS SETTING"? Also, having to prompt for a 2FA code to get my backup codes would be good. So someone can't come along and have a list of 10 secret codes to use against me later down the line if they figure out my password/email account details, and at that time they wouldn't need to compromise my phone at the same time. Pretty UI stuff: On the Enable Two-Factor setup screen, you have to click "Enter the key manually" to get the image back, that text should update. Secondly. When you login, the button to submit your 2FA code says "Check code", I would suggest it should just be "Submit". That's a blur of the lines between implementation (which is literally checking the code), and usage(which is someone using it is going to legitimately be just submitting you the code they have). If I haven't been clear, feel free to ask for clarification.

WittenMittens Jan 25, 2018 +65
We need three factor authentication. First you log in, then you punch in the code on your phone, then you wait for Alexis Ohanian to show up and visually verify you are who you say you are.
65
RedEnergie Jan 24, 2018 +34
I think it would be nice to have a backup, like the possibility to use a U2F hardware token, to use instead of your phone. This way it could be more secure/reliant and it's way easier to just use a token instead of a authenticator app.

I mean you wouldn't want someone logging in pretending to be you and then going around being nice to people would you? Secure your shit, man.

Gotta protect ourselves against the looming threat of those meddling hackers logging into our accounts and responding to others with comments like: “I wholeheartedly agree with you!” and “I guess I was wrong, turns out you were correct.”

Be careful when using Google auth. If your phone suddenly breaks, you're sol.

I ask every time you guys talk about 2FA, are you planning on supporting physical U2F tokens like Yubikeys? I prefer that to Auth apps Edit: i missed part of my thought in my original comment

pwildani Jan 24, 2018 +198
It's on our wishlist. We need to get the basics right first before the more complicated steps. We discovered an amazing number of login forms implemented in a wide variety of technologies while developing even this level of support, so adding something that's even a tiny bit complicated through all of those will take a while.

U2F is literally state of art right now, with the tie-in to the browser's TLS session to prevent replay attacks. Plus built in privacy protection when using it with multiple sites (each site will see a unique U2F key).

What about u2f and/or "classic" yubico OTP? Having to enter a 6 digit number by hand is a serious nuisance for me. Hardware token is much less friction.

So glad that this is being released to everyone. It's worked very well for me since beta. Pro tip: If you use any script / bot to login with a 2FA'd account, or you don't get prompted for the 2 factor code then in the password field just do `YourPassword:2FactorCode`, ex: `Hunter2:123456`. If you use RES and the Account Switcher, it has support as well if you click the 2FA toggle then it will ask you for the code when you switch accounts.

That's because it's their real password. When you type your real password, it shows up as \*\*\*\*\*\*\*. Try it yourself. If anybody doesn't see \*\*\*\*\*\*\* instead of the real of the password, it's because they use the same one.

dewiniaid Jan 24, 2018 +124
One of these days someone is actually going to fall for that. It's why my password is just 8 asterisks, in case that someone is ever me. You'd never think ******** is my actual password.

Congratulations for now having better generally-available account security than most of the websites holding either my money or large amounts of purchases, including but not limited to Paypal, eBay and Steam. Also, well done on not requiring a phone number to enable TOTP. That makes you better than Twitter, the platform POTUS and many political officials use for communication, and Facebook, a website over a quarter of the planet is registered to. Wish I was kidding. Edit: SMS 2FA is neither secure nor convenient. Stop telling me Paypal has appropriate 2fa.

PayPal and Steam constantly mention to link your phone number, it's one of the set up procedures on PayPal you have to do to complete your profile.

Been using this as a moderator for the past few months now and it's been working great. Thank you! One follow up question though: Any update on having some sort of icon that indicates when a moderator has 2FA enabled so we can hassle other members of our team to turn it on? _(This icon ideally only being visible to other moderators so we don't advertise who on the team is least secure.)_

As a mod of a somewhat large community having a mod be hacked and being hacked himself, it's actually a really great idea.
39
Dlrlcktd Jan 24, 2018 +18
I don’t doubt that mods having 2fa is a good thing, but if someone hacks an unsecured mods account, they can see all the other unsecured mods.
18
Mason11987 Jan 24, 2018 +25
then only have secured mods able to see it, or only allow the top mods. This isn't a huge deal.
25
Dlrlcktd Jan 24, 2018 +17
Or require all mods to have 2fa. I agree
17
LordPadre Jan 24, 2018 +11
this would not be ideal as a policy enforced by listnook, if it was just a condition of becoming a mod in a certain sublistnook then sure
11
kemitche Jan 24, 2018 +13
google, github, AWS, and many other sites that have organizations of users with 2FA all have options to either (1) view the 2FA status of all accounts and/or (2) require that they use 2FA to be part of the org/group. It's a critical feature when using multiple accounts to access a shared resource (such as moderating a large sublistnook) to be able to strictly verify the use of 2FA.

Cycloneblaze Jan 24, 2018 +19
> (This icon ideally only being visible to other moderators so we don't advertise who on the team is least secure.) It would still advertise it to moderators, which could be a bad thing if somebody's account is compromised, since they know who else to go after. And that's assuming you trust your mods in the first place.
