It doesn't make your account vulnerable AT ALL, if you think it does that means YOU and ONLY YOU don't have it where only you can check your emails, how it works is if someone try's to sign in to a device you've NEVER used before, it will pop up a box to them telling them "A code has be sent to you mail, please enter the code here to proceed" meaning they can't get in UNLESS they have access to your mailbox


"So make your self the one they all fear."

It's a good thing against PGing
but most people who are PGed don't even have this 2 step verification or a verified email.

What idiot would give away their email anyway

It's about protecting your account from phishers, keyloggers and junk like that.

There's literally no way people can access your email unless you either straight up tell them about it or you leave it unattended without logging out.

Neither situation will happen if you have common sense.

epic and mine are both wrong

first off this doesn't protect you AT ALL from malware on your computer, not one bit

second off yeah its a good thing but your email can be hijacked not only by malware but resets on the mail provider and spear phlshing is still a threat

It's not supposed to. Do you fully understand the purpose of 2-Factor Authentication?

All 2FA is supposed to do is provide extra security from any unauthorized devices who is trying to access your account.

2FA is not held accountable from any malware you install on your computer. That's what your anti-virus programs are for.

You're bringing up situations that's far out of ROBLOX's reach.

As for spear phishing, legitimate business wouldn't directly ask you for any PW or account numbers in the email. I doubt anyone can attempt an email fraud using ROBLOX's IDN either.

It makes it harder for hackers, as the codes only last for 15 mins, so if they hacked the email, it would probably be too late.
