Humble Bundle redesign removes two-factor verification from settings

is a senior reporter covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme.

The Humble Bundle storefront for buying games and other software recently got a new look, but on the settings page, it no longer offers a way to add or update two-factor verification methods, as reported by Kotaku. PC Gamer also points out that there are Humble Bundle support pages discussing two-factor verification, and the writer for the publication said that they had set up two-factor verification on the old version of the site.

However, it does appear that, at least as of now, there is some form of two-factor verification. When I tried logging into my Humble Bundle account while writing this article, I was prompted to check my email for an access code before I could access my account. While logged in, I was able to update my password, but I didn’t have to enter my old password to be able to do so.

For what it’s worth, my passwords app also shows that I set up a rotating two-factor code for Humble Bundle at some point. I was not asked to input that at any part of my login process today.

Humble Bundle owner IGN Entertainment and IGN parent company Ziff Davis didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment.
