Dear BrickLink Members,

Thank you for your patience as we recover from the recent incident.

We’re introducing One-Time PIN (OTP) functionality to certain seller features.
This feature is only accessible to sellers and is an opt-in feature, however,
it is highly recommended.

To activate OTP, you must go to your store management settings: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/mystore/management.page

OTPs will be sent to the email address associated with your BrickLink account.
One verification code lasts for 60 days on a single machine ID (one browser on
a specific device). This verification process should not impact integrations
with third-party inventory managers.

Please read our FAQs for more information about how OTP works and which features
it protects: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=2615

Many thanks,
The BrickLink Team

My first reactions is that the OTP is being tied to an email account. If I then
tie the email account to a 2FA SMS based authentication (similar to what BL is
doing with OTP) that would make it very difficult for anyone to breach both the
email and BL. Tie all that together with strong passwords.

Thanks for a job well done !

When on the mobile you cannot enter in the OTP. Website is blocking the ability
enter the code.

this is the same problem when you try to access the MOC popup store and has been
since the beginning. So something is not quite right.

Thanks, I believe this is the issue as well. After enabling cookies you should

Dear BrickLink members,

Following the examples of other online marketplaces with regards to security
features such as OTP, we have decided to change the current OTP opt-in feature
to an opt-out feature. This means that sellers will have this feature enabled
automatically in their store settings and will be able to opt-out if they so
desire.
We highly encourage sellers to keep OTP enabled for added account protection.

Additional safety measures may include changing your passwords regularly and
having separate passwords for all your online accounts.

Thank you.

I highly encourage BrickLink to find another way to give PA or important information
than posting in a Forum read by 1% users and at 22:43 EDT or 3:43 Paris time


IT: Hey guys? Should we send out an email to let users know we're going to
enable OTP for everyone?
Manager: Nah, just post it in the forum.

Yep, this site loads ok because of the age and simplicity.

Tbh I’ve used other forums and bricklink has the best interface of all of them
(yes it dosnt have all the features) but the simple design of it on other sites
is weird so maybe I’m missing the golden standard for forum designs?

This would have been a better announcement if it had been sent early enough for
me to read it before the change was made.
I didn't read the message board late last night, so when I tried to log on
today I was surprised and mystified about what the heck this was.

  Dear BrickLink members,

Following the examples of other online marketplaces with regards to security
features such as OTP, we have decided to change the current OTP opt-in feature
to an opt-out feature. This means that sellers will have this feature enabled
automatically in their store settings and will be able to opt-out if they so
desire.
We highly encourage sellers to keep OTP enabled for added account protection.

Additional safety measures may include changing your passwords regularly and
having separate passwords for all your online accounts.

Thank you.

This would have been a better announcement if it had been sent early enough for
me to read it before the change was made.
I didn't read the message board late last night, so when I tried to log on
today I was surprised and mystified about what the heck this was.

November 2023 wasn't early enough?

Did you read this?

Because that was about today's change from opt-in to opt-out.

Oops, missed it by that much. Too much back and forth on that thread for me to
look at.
Yeah, a few days' notice would have been nice.

My email address has a limit of 160 characters and the pin is all the way at
the bottom of a much too long and wordy message and the pin is missing from the
email. Also tried changing email address and that message for pin is also too
long.

So I am locked out

160 chars limit ??? Your're searching for trouble?

There are tons of free plans with no limitations.

I don't recommend the major ones (privacy reasons) like gmail...

But gmx.com for example (I've an address there for 10 yrs no problem), or
any other.

Or for professional use, I recommend subscribing a paid serious service with
no ads etc.
It's worth the $20 or such per year you'll pay for.

It was like a pager system. It got a few orders processed and scanned by the
post office under ten minutes... so it was working. Any offsite emails were ignored
so everything was logged on bricklink email system. Besides average email lengths
have been trending down in size.

Dont press the send button when you see the screen, it already mailed you, clicking
it again invalidates the code.

Maybe that helps, it did for me the first time.
