External account / external authentication linking
Posted: Sun May 15, 2022 5:18 am
Hi all,
As part of a push to reduce the load on the mod team, and modernizing the platform, we're trialing letting users link their accounts to external authentication providers, e.g. Facebook/Google/Apple/etc, and SMS phone linking. The idea is it gives more robust and modern authentication and make things harder for cheaters and easier for moderators.
If you go to your Account > Site Settings page you will see an area at the bottom allowing you to link your account, there's more explanation there. It would be helpful if you have a Facebook/Google account if you can link it to trial the system.

Any issues linking your account please let me know.
Rgds,
