2FA

Two-Step Verification is a means to secure your account. If your account is compromised, this feature ensures that the attacker will not be able to leave the hub, move, join Skyblock, or harm your island! It requires a security code that only you have access to. Regardless of how secure you believe your account is, using Two-Step Verification provides peace of mind for you and your faction. NOBODY will be able to access your account, your personal vaults, or cause harm to your island. We recommend all users enable this feature.

Downloading an Authenticator

To set up Two-Step Verification, you’ll need an authenticator app. We recommend using Authy as it allows account recovery through a master password.
Authy is a mobile app that enables you to sync your account across multiple devices, provided you have verification enabled.

Downloading Authy

On your mobile device, download the Authy app. You will be prompted to connect your account using a phone number and an email address, followed by entering a verification code.
After, you'll be asked to create a backup password. Ensure this password is strong and secure.
In the app's settings, you MUST set up a master password to fully secure your account. We recommend making this password a long combination of characters, symbols, and numbers to maximize security and reduce the risk of compromise.

In-Game Two-Step Verification

How to Set Up Two-Step Verification

Two-Step Verification can ONLY be done from the hub! First, download Authy, which will provide you with your security code.
We recommend Authy because it allows you to store multiple authentication codes in one location, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Twitch 2-Factor Authentication codes.

Once you’ve downloaded Authy, log into CosmicSky.net and execute the command /2fa. You will be prompted with a message and shown a map.

To view the map, point your head downward.

Open Authy and select "Add Account". Then, look down at the map in-game, which will display a QR Code that is unique to your account and UUID.

Once you have scanned the QR code (or manually entered the Secret Key) into your Two-Step Verification app, enter the code provided by the app into in-game chat using /auth < code provided by the application >

Once complete, you will receive 5 recovery codes. These are emergency backup codes in case you lose access to your Two-Step Verification app.

Store these codes in a secure place and NEVER share them or lose them, as this may result in permanent account lockout!

And you're done!

If your IP address changes, you will be prompted for your Two-Step Verification code. If you need to remove Two-Step Verification, log into your account on Cosmic and run /2fa remove.

Recovery Codes

If you have lost access to your Two-Step Verification device and no longer have your backup codes, follow this guide to attempt recovery.

This process involves searching your Minecraft log files for the backup recovery codes that were sent as a message in chat.

IMPORTANT: If you’ve reset your computer since setting up /2fa or deleted your .minecraft folder, this method will not work. Your best chance is checking the Recycle Bin for your old .minecraft folder.
