2 Factor Authentication

[kes601]

Just received an email from DVC indicating that on November 16 we will be required to do 2 step authentication EVERY TIME we login to the website.....this should be fun and not at all annoying.

This will go over just about as well as the Blue Card Elites moving to digital only.

If it's everytime they should allow 3rd party authenticators..

Honestly it's long overdue

Via email only for us foreigners!
Didn't realise international texts were so expensive.

I'm totally good with it being if you sign in from a new device / browser you need to do two factor -- but if I'm signing in from the same browser and not emptying cache, cookies, etc. it is overkill.

Cue the complaints that the extra 30 seconds it took to log in cost them that sweet, sweet AKL value studio that they’d been stalking for six months.

Received the email. Let's see how things go for anyone signing in November 16

My assumption is it will be just like howe we randomly get the 2 step authentication prompt it just will happen every time.

It will definitely be interesting, as I've never once received the prompt before.

I just logged in and it made me do the two factor verification. I thought it was supposed to start the 16th. Anyone else have it happen today?

Nope, just logged. Email and password only, just like always...

Not thrilled. I find it a pain in the neck when I have to do it on so many other sites. Yes, I know, safety, safety etc, but still a pain in the neck.

Wonder if DVC has been having security issues.

I’ve gotten the prompt from time to time since we joined DVC (Feb ‘21) and also get it randomly logging into the MDE and ESPN.

Yeah I agree, at the very least it should be good for a long session time say 8 or 24 hours, I personally find myself logging in multiple times a day when planning a trip or even more so when renting points out.

Never had the prompt before, didn´t get it a few minutes ago, but this is one more thing that is tipping me to getting out of DVC. What a pain!

I HATE this verification process. I'm currently stalking for a missing night on a reservation....I log in multiple times each day (some days as many as 10-12 times)....so the extra step is more than merely annoying. The list of things to hate about DVC/Disney is growing. It makes me very sad. I do not "buy" the excuse they're using (protecting account safety)...ugh and argh.

What I'd like to know is how they are going to deal with 2 people logging into the account. Currently only I have the account. Is it possible to have 2 logins to reference the same contracts? If not, they need to allow 2 cell phones, and 2 emails to be added into the profile.

To be perfectly honest it likely is that simple. It is quite common now for businesses to carry cyber security insurance (I can’t imagine Disney doesn’t) and one requirement is ensuring accounts are protected with two step verification.

The second Disney does something that banks, credit card companies, payroll providers, the IRs, and many insurers require for website login, it's all of a sudden a bad thing and "typical" Disney...
