Can i enable 2 factor authentication and email verification in the same time?
My account recently got hijacked because i was dumb enough to put my steam info in a fake login on a "rocket league trade site" it was my problem... my account didnt really get damaged but i wonder if there is a way i could enable email verification when logging in on a different device + 2FA to prevent these type of scams

If you havent already get a 2 factor authentication but that doesnt garrantee extra security if you put your account into an unsafe situation.

teh 'scams' on rocket leauge are purely user based and cannot be prevented by 2fa. This is because rocket league does not wish to implement secured steam trades. As such your items will always be vulnerable upon hijack.

Feel free to go complain to the devs of Rocket League who basically ignored nearly a decade of Steam's fraud experience and thought "hey what coudl possibly go wrong with having zero security on trading items"

Im not complaining about the fact that my items got stolen ingame... im complaining about the fact that i got hijacked in the first place.. my account wouldnt have been hijacked if the person hijacking had to login on my email address to confirm thats what im saying

Why. E-mail is less secure than a phone. There's a reason you can have email with holds and mobile with no holds.
