Forum Changes - Security


Recommended Posts

A couple of changes I'd like to make members aware of with the new forum.

Firstly, the entire site is now served via https. This adds a blanket of security over the connection between members and the website (Secure Sockets Layer and Transport Layer Security). This connection encrypts data to prevent eavesdropping, protects the integrity of data to prevent corruption in transfer, and provides authentication to ensure communication only with the intended website.

Secondly, the forum now supports Two Factor Authentication. To set that up and add extra security to your account, follow the screenshots below:
