2FA/ MFA on Router settings moved to MySky

Hi all,

 

With the new Sky Max Hub moving it's port forwarding, DMZ, Advanced WiFi settings to the public net (MySKy App, website etc), surely there's an option to enable 2FA/ MFA on the account for increased protection? I can't find it anywhere. If these settings have been moved to public over the net devices, it's insane to me that this is only hiding behind an email address and a password. 

 

Does Sky have plans to add this if not in the pipeline already? Historically needing to be close to the LAN at least to access the router was fine, but now that this is publically accessible with having access to simply your account, this MUST require some additional security measure to hide behind a phone number or similar to authenticate?

 

Thanks.

Legend thank you! Just off the phone to Sky and they told me that it wasn't possible.

Make sure you keep a note of the recovery code as you will need this to turn off 2FA which you would need to do before changing the number the texts are sent to.
