NEW FEATURE 🔒 2-Factor Authentication! 🔒
- Thread starter ATAClaptrap
- Start date
its 10+ years or more of photos (i literally have my siblings and my own baby photos in there) what do you expect its family and friends ofc ill have photos ill like to keep especially if I traveled during those times. You make it seem like you dont have old photos/memories you want to keep lmao. Again my comment is saying that it’s beyond security and if you look at my other comments I’m sure youll be able to understand that…
Because there is no incentive from ATA to actually make the game a better experience for everyone. Spenders will spend irrespective of what they get. So people will keep complaining and yet ata will come up with 10th zombie hunt of the year
fr thats why i dont understand then trying to say its to make the game better when the stuff they make is often reused and they dont listen to feedback

This is probably the stupidest thing you've done Ata. WHT are ya actually accomplishing. Not gonna stop ppl sharing accounts you just making harder for.ppl don't cheat. Hey why not do something beneficial an stop ppl from buying bento off the game. That be a good change. This fn stupid.
mine is already verified but ffs! IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME because the links always aren't working.tbh i think this is the dumbest idea yet...
i asked some questions about it in the help section. & its sooooo confusing (cuz i didnt understand this post)
1 - i been fully active for 3 years & it just feels like im doing the game tutorial again.
2 - some of my alts accs i made withing those 3 years (so i dont know the spacific dates when i made them)
3 - most of those emails i dont know the logins. does that mean i gotta make 4 NEW emails too hold my 20ish accounts?
4 - gonna leave it at that. but theres more....
its annoying. like above you guys shouldve given us more time & ask our opinion before doing it.

hi again.if two the main reasons for this is bots/hackers;
- like mentioned above. we're not kids. games for +17yrs old. & + pmid isnt a bank.
its a GAME. i just re-downloaded a game from 2 years ago. and yk what? it didnt ask me for a vertify code. just asked for my id(game username) and passward. and BOOM logged in. - if you guys have alt/bot problems, you guys should try to solve it tbh. us game players dont care about those things & involing us makes the game less funner. like i gotta make new vertify emails and log into the email for the code?
tbh if new players see all the vertifications stuff they might not wanna play no more. like i said its a game & not a bank.

Thank god, maybe you’ll finally delete all of these bots and spammers and account sharers and RMT losers. Unlikely, but maybe

How i get verification if use @pimd.com
Introducing two-factor authentication!
What is it?
We are introducing a new two-factor authentication system to help secure your accounts!
Why did you make it?
Improved account security!
Extra protection against password sharing
Cut down on account selling and buying
Another win in the fight against bot accounts
Overall, you can expect more security measures against evil-doers and ne'er-do-wells!
How does it work?
If you're logging into, setting up, or changing a new ATA ID, a verification code will be sent to your e-mail address. You will need to enter this code into the PIMD app to fully set up your new ATA ID!
When will it be live?
We're going to begin slowly rolling this out starting today! It will be gradually released to all players but for now, we want to take our time to make sure it functions as intended and there are no hiccups!
What if I have already verified my e-mail?
This is a different system and will be replacing email link/verification. Moving forward, ALL accounts will be logged in using a password and Email Verification Code.
How can I set this up?
Here are the new 'New Account' and 'Log In' screens! You can enter your ATA ID and password like normal or create a new one!
Once you've put in your ATA ID and password, a verification code will be sent directly to your e-mail! When you receive that verification code, this is the screen you'll need to put it into!
Why is my verification code not working?
If you put in the wrong verification code too many times, you will need to contact our team to help!
Your verification code also expires after 5 minutes so be ready for it! If the code expires, you will need to request a new one.
FAQ
Why are you doing this?
Increased security measures! Two-factor authentication provides improved account security for all of our players, and it's easy!
Why is this not showing on my account yet?
We're doing a gradual rollout to make sure there are no unwelcome bugs or issues! If you aren't seeing it yet, it should be active for you in the next few days.
Also note that you should really only be seeing this if you're creating a new account, logging back into an existing account, or setting a new ATA ID!
Will I ever need to verify my e-mail?
Not yet! As we move forward though, new updates will require players to have verified and secured their email.
What do I do if I lose access to my email/I used a fake email?
Send our team a message through the Help section using the Recover Account menu option! We can help get you sorted.
I used the same email multiple times! Will this affect me?
You can use the same email 5 times!
For those of you that didn't know, most emails (Gmail most importantly) support the use of adding a '+' to your email. This creates a second email, but uses the same inbox!
Example:
community@athinkingape.com
community+account1@athinkingape.com
community+account2@athinkingape.com
All those emails are unique, but will use the same community@athinkingape.com inbox.
If you do this, these different emails can be used to verify your account with 2-factor authentication. Remember though, a max of 5!
I put in the incorrect code and I'm locked out!?
We can help with that too! Message us through a Help ticket.
I have a question that isn't covered here!
I'm sorry, okay?! Send us a message with any other questions you might have and we'll speak with you further from there!

This is bs.
Just wanted to add in my comments because I definitely like the idea. However, like most people, I think checking your emails for a verification code every time is a bit excessive. Maybe a one-time thing (on a new unrecognizable device) would be better.
I don’t know about you guys, but I personally have my work and university emails logged in on my phone. Alts emails and such, I do not have logged on. So if I want to log onto my alts, I’d have to log out of one of my work or university email to log into my alt email in order to retrieve the verification code. Sounds like too much time to me.
I’m not a player with a crazy ton of alts, but I know a lot of people that rely on alts for misc to sell to get bentos. So all you misc-buyers out there (me included), you better hope your misc seller don’t die on you like mine did because of a loss of alts.
