Hello community, I have an idea of two-factor authentication for Teamspeak 5. I thought about creating a mobile application that receives a login code, I even came up with the name “Teamspek Guard” (I was inspired by Steam Guard) Or scan a qr code with a camera instead of the usual code (it looks cool and modern in Discord) And sorry for my English

It’s good to be concerned about security and MFA is a great way to secure our Accounts.
But I think teamspeak should Support 3rd Party Applikation instead for a various of reason.
For example: convenience
It’s just inconvenient to install an authenticator App for every Service you use. Every standalone 2FA App is just a clutter in my App drawer.
Since that doesnt change the importance of 2FA, 3rd Party Applications (Google authenticator/ 1password/ authy/…) of the users choice will have this Job done perfectly fine.

You are right @LittleFreak92, it is convenient to use one account identifier for all accounts
Make 2FA on TS3 and make it so we can enable it so then if our account gets hacked we don’t need to worry.

It would be nice if we could enable Two-Factor Authentication to increase our account’s security.
Twitch got recently hacked and lot of account informations got leaked. Some users might use the same password for TS and they are an easier target for the hackers.

A very important point is missing in the account security: 2-FA.
I think that two-factor authentication is an important part of I.T. security nowadays and should definitely be integrated into TeamSpeak. The typical 2-FA could also be extended here with USB keys (Yubikey).
Special server settings could also be protected with the help of USB keys, so that these groups only react to known keys. This way, misconfigurations due to foreign interference can be avoided, among other things.
I’m not looking for help protecting my account.
This post is a suggestion to improve the TeamSpeak software and account.
Could you consider adding 2FA security to the MyTeamspeak accounts ?

I just got the new Teamspeak client since the beta released today and I want to shift away from Discord. However, when I try to activate 2FA it doesn’t work.
I use Authy. When scanning the QR code it just says “format not supported”.
Is that just an Authy problem or does this happen with other authenticators?
Don’t really feel comfortable using this until I can properly secure my account.
There is currently no 2FA the QR Code in the TeamSpeak Client is for connecting the TS Chat App wich is for mobile and not public yet.

Oh I see, my fault.
But 2FA should 100% be added asap.
