2 Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA or 2step) adds an extra layer of security to your account. With 2FA enabled, you will need to enter a code from your mobile device in addition to your password to log in to your account. This makes it much harder for hackers to gain access to your account.

You will need to enter your PIN to access your account settings, change your password, or trade items with other players. It is recommended that you use a unique and memorable PIN that you do not use for other accounts.

Recovering a Hacked Account


If your account has been hacked, you will need to submit a support ticket on Discord to recover it. Provide as much information as possible, such as the date and time you last logged in, any changes to your account settings or items, and any suspicious activity that you may have noticed. The support team will investigate your case and work to recover your account.
