What a ■■■■ show. I changed my password per Plex’s suggestion (despite having a two-factor authorization on my account), and now I’m locked out, both locally and on app.plex.tv. “You do not have access to this server.” Not being able to even access my own content locally is really making me realize that Plex’s setup is way too dependent on their (apparently unsecure) cloud. Or their mass email to everyone was not well thought out on the impact it would have in general. Not cool, Plex. Not cool.
Edit: What is most bullshit about this whole thing is I disabled all of the “free” Plex BS on my account, but when I try to access MY server, all I can see is the “free” Plex BS but NONE of my local media. What. The. ■■■■.
Too many people changing the password I guess what is causing all the issues.
If you have 2Fa enabled I assume you should be ok. The recovery keys are not stored or should not have been stored at Plex so unless they have your 2FA device you should be fine for the time being.
Just be patient when changing your password, my password changed was accepted after clicking the update button 4 times over the course of 5 minutes.
This doesn’t really help the charge of the server though, so just know the authentication server is busy at the moment right after the email highlighting a security issue was sent.
BE PATIENT.
You can activate 2FA reliably in the meantime it seems. So you should do that if it’s not done already.
you have reclaim your server. its like when you set up plex for the first time, but all the data base is still there , I used the original software config that came with my NAS to redo it
Same problem. After password reset, I can’t connect to the server even locally.
The server “PLEX” is unreachable. Make sure it’s running, double check your network, and try again.
I have a question. Does the 2 factor authentication do the job here? Also why the hell have PLEX that old system with authentication app? It is pain in the ass if you lose the phone and that was the reason I delete all my 2 factor authenticator from all my account that doesnt support something like SMS or another email as alternative!
Sue the ■■■■ out of these ■■■■■■■■ Im tired of this ■■■■ having my information floating out there due to poor security measures. Wheres the ■■■■■■■ accountability?!?
I’m not convinced you know how many breaches work against companies. Look up zero day.
I am locally logged in and under the General/Settings section and cannot find my my server to reclaim it… I am on a Syno, running Plex off Package Center. What the heck…
