| | Dear BrickLink members,
Following the examples of other online marketplaces with regards to security
features such as OTP, we have decided to change the current OTP opt-in feature
to an opt-out feature. This means that sellers will have this feature enabled
automatically in their store settings and will be able to opt-out if they so
desire.
We highly encourage sellers to keep OTP enabled for added account protection.
Additional safety measures may include changing your passwords regularly and
having separate passwords for all your online accounts.
Thank you.

This would have been a better announcement if it had been sent early enough for
me to read it before the change was made.
I didn't read the message board late last night, so when I tried to log on
today I was surprised and mystified about what the heck this was.

November 2023 wasn't early enough?

Hey, I like to. I can’t even navigate the studio forum, so this is great for
me.(+my internet is soooo bad the studio one takes forever to load)
|
And yet, you are all here.
|
Yep, this site loads ok because of the age and simplicity.
LEGO.com home page sometimes takes 3 minutes to load!

| Tbh I’ve used other forums and bricklink has the best interface of all of them
(yes it dosnt have all the features) but the simple design of it on other sites
is weird so maybe I’m missing the golden standard for forum designs?

I highly encourage BrickLink to find another way to give PA or important information
than posting in a Forum read by 1% users and at 22:43 EDT or 3:43 Paris time

| Hello,
Today I received 4 phishing emails from site brickslink.org. This new site looks
like exactly that your screenshot of bricklinks.org.

| | Hello again everyone,
Our security team was able to get the original bricklinks.net site taken
down, but we got reports this morning of a new bricklinks.org site and
evidence that phishing emails have been sent to our users, directing people to
this new site. The new site is much more realistic (see image below).
Please log in ONLY to bricklink.com and be aware that an effort is being
made to steal your BrickLink credentials. We will keep you updated if this problem
persists.

| | You really need to add OTP for all users, not just sellers, for better security.
You sent me the email to tell me about this, despite me not having a seller account,
and finding I'm unable to do it.
Also, to the person asking for SMS 2FA - this is insecure (as is email, tbh).
Bricklink should really implement 2FA via authentication app for proper security.
|
Please NO - apart if it's optional.

yeah its a typical scam site. Nothing works but the "login"
My browser wants to translate it from French (despite everything visible being

guess scammers out of Canada or France. *shrug*

Canada! We know who, it's Nubs!!!
He was practicing Javascript recently (in short: copy/paste from chatGPT)
|
can it really be called practicing if its just
copy and paste?
|
I think the correct term is “testing”
|
"testing" for several hours to increase the efficiency of
1 function by 1/1000 of a second
