I never thought of this. This is a great idea! I agree, something like 2-Factor-Auth. with Plex is needed especially when dealing with personal pictures/videos and with personal media stored and managed with Plex.

Totally need this now that the RELAY is always turned on and we got no way to stop remote access to the serverā€¦ (I had a firewalled server with direct access only to certain IPs)

It current releases, if you turn off Remote Access, then Relay is turned off too.

Note sure if you have, but it is recommended that you like the first post in this thread.

Yes, please. Two-Factor authentication is a must these days.

33

I agree, two factor would be welcome.
I am unclear if the email I received this morning from haveibeenpwned.com that my plex account information appeared in balockae.online. Checking the details, this was not the forums password since it includes server IPs and the salted passwords.
As a precaution I changed my password, but I would totally welcome two factors

Iā€™m surprised itā€™s taken this long. Fingers crossed.

As someone whoā€™s account was hacked recently and deleted, I really like this idea. I went ahead and voted it up.

I donā€™t think this is a good excuse to sit there and do nothing,

There are way to make this secure and still user friendly,

Just lest resume what happen if you password is. Stolen

1 You privacy can be violated by leaking content such as your children photos (if you use camera upload for example)

2 one can enable the option to allow Plex to delete file and in 2 click your entire library no longer exists, which most people here took Years to put it together

3 Lest say someone with plex life pass get his account stolen and then his account deleted ?, I am sure plex support would be able to assist in this case (I hope) however itā€™s better to prevent them cure afterward donā€™t you think?

37

Iā€™m honestly surprised that this wasnā€™t a thing after the security breach last year.

/agree not a simple task.

Though for 3rd party stuff that depend on plex credentials could use an Application Specific Password like Google does.

Authy would be a great option for this. Iā€™m not a fan of email two factor.
