One thing to protect users on the site is to enable two-factor authentication, this can be done a few different ways, but setting up to use an authentication app like Authy or Google Authenticator would be the quickest way to do it. There are some plugins for sites out there that can be used.
in a video recently you mentioned people trying to hack or attack the site, so this may be a something to put on priority.

June 19, 2020 at 10:03 am #166909Before I go the route of enabling two factor on the CMS/forums, I’d like just enable social logins. This way, the 2FA is controlled by your social account.

Myself tho, I can’t recommend getting google, or their software involved.

I’m pretty strict about the info I provide any social media platforms like Twitter or YouTube…or G&G. I never provide my real name, address, or phone number to those sites; and even the email address I use to create social media accounts is a screen that forwards to an ISP email account. I use PayPal to send money, never directly through a social media website.
I’m not worried.
June 21, 2020 at 8:12 pm #169234I’d love to see 2FA enabled as I have it enabled on Twitch, Discord, and other platforms.
June 22, 2020 at 4:09 am #169402Hiya Frank – Ok, with all due respect, my concerns with tying it into a social media account are that A) Some people don’t have social media accounts.
And B) With all the cancel culture going on right now, it’s actually pretty easy to lose access to a social media account. I have a friend that loses his account on facebook practically bi-monthly because he constantly posts political views that oppose FB’s. And we’ve all seen the huge rash of bans from Twitter, especially over “copyright”. Or “wrong think”.
