Not playing until account security is risen.

JAGEX account passwords are not case sensitive, and have an arbitrary character limit.

2FA.

2FA.

Imagine defending such poor practices by saying that mobile authentication is an acceptable bandage.

It's not "protecting" as you might see it, it's just telling you that there is such thing. After that it's everyones personal decission which one to pick: if it's enough to have password and bank pink (in game one) only or 2FA + psw + bank pin. After all if playing on Steam you should mind about steam account security too. It's common practise not to enter your details everywhere and to spread them around the internet, to use unique passwords, 2FA and check if your email/psw hasn't been pwned (pretty much this website to check that[haveibeenpwned.com])

Played this game for years, have never lost account and never got hacked, even before 2FA was a thing.

No1 is going to brute force ur pw and hack you lol

the only reason why anyone would want access to your account is: your either a high profile target like 4 letter names, high wealth and streamers, or that you've filled your data into a phishing website/got scammed for them. most of the security experts note that a single access pw is wrong and the strenght of the password does not matter, as long as you have an authenticator.

going by the experts even a passworld with 2 > 4 words are sufficient. like "monkey ceiling bread" and obviously a 2fac on every login will increase your security 1000x fold

i would even say, allowing people for a longer complicated password is less secure and gives a false sense of security and not having them enable a 2fac.

I agree it isn't good, I can only guess it hasn't changed because it would cause alot of problems. But at the same time... are you telling me a good 20 character password and authenticator isn't enough? I don't think anyone is cracking that unless your details are compromised.

Yes, 2FA won't save you if someone tries to bruteforce on purpose so your account gets locked and even you can't log-in with the correct password for a while.

Yeah man they are right I had my account for 15 years with several years of membership,started playing OSRS again completed all free to play quest got members for a few months again quit AND THEN WAITING A YEAR to bot and macro yup I sure did!


Sarcasm btw! They seriously need to fix this issue with botting and macro using it's been a thing since this game came out but they don't even send you emails that you've been logged into on a new device or even give you a proper appeal system so you REALLY shouldn't expect anything out of them they are lazy and DO NOT CARE.
