With the introduction of Two-Step Authentication Security for Star Citizen, you can now protect your account with an additional level of security.

As a standard security measure, your accounts are protected by a username and password. However, against a determined security breach attempt, this might not always be enough to keep your account safe. This is where two-step authentication comes in.

When you have two-step authentication enabled, you will sign in with your username and password, then you will be required to enter a uniquely generated code, which is sent to your email address or through our new authenticator app (available on Android and iPhone). So even if your username/password is compromised, a unique access code will also be required to enter your account.

On top being able to get your randomly generated access codes from the Star Citizen Authenticator, users are also able to use, Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator and any other TOTP/HOTP-based applications.
