• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

FS: SSD Memory: Samsung 990 EVO Plus 4TB, 970 Evo Plus 500gb and Sabrent Rocket 2280 256gb

2FA? Heatware?

I just hit 60yrs old. Some of us old geezers don't keep up :)

My last build was in 2019. I was planning a new build, and have a few SSDs I never used. With prices where they are, I'm not going to replace my desktop.

You should be aware of what 2FA is even outside of Heatware / [H]... scammers coming your way and it's one of the best ways to protect yourself. Age is no excuse in this case.

At a high level it is simple to use, but it is a new thing to do.
  • Install an app on your phone. There are many. (I use lastpass because it has a password on the app and hides all the keys unless I click on one, although I am sure I am wrong)
  • Create a trust: This website (H) gives you a "secrete key" that you enter into your phone's app (most use a QR so you can scan the code so you do not need to type) Your phone generates a 6 digit validation key you enter this into the website. The validation key changes every 30 seconds. Don't worry most applications show a count down so you know if you need to wait for the next code. Look at or account security for set up.
  • You prove you are who you are when challenged: when signing in you use the user name and password you always, when required open the phone app and enter the 6 digit code. This makes it so when the website wants to challenge you with more than a password (something you know) you can answer the challenge with something you have (the validation key on your phone). H asks for the validation key every 30 days or when signing into a new browser.
More about it
  • Why: If you use the same user name and password on all sites (not recommended) and a website like evga gets compromised scammers can use the user name and password to sign into other sites like H and try to sell things they do not own. The 2fa stops this. It helps keep secure easy to guess passwords (easy to guess passwords are not recommended).
  • MISCONCEPTIONS: Just because you have 2fa does not mean you are legit. A scammer can set up the application on a compromised account.
  • So Why set it up then: To keep your account from being compromised.
  • What people do not tell you: Print your "secrete key" on paper and keep it in a safe place. If your phone dies you will need to enter the secrete key into the new phone. (you can back it up digitally on an unconnected USB drive if you do again in a safe place)
  • You should really be using this for any thing that has money involved: It is usually called 2fa (two factor authentication) two step authentication, multi-factor authentication. The app must have Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP)
