That may well be true if the page in question was the main ticket page but it's not, the Tour" link is not now publicly advertised it is used internally by See, the main link for all sales is glastonbury.seetickets.com that now links to the "extras" page. Anyone moaning about See testing the "Tour" page has no argument, they shouldn't be looking at it anyway! No one would know about it if someone on here hadn't mentioned it.

I was getting really confused as am monitoring both pages at the moment but don't know which one is the right one.

'Multi-factor authentication and it's use in simple systems' is the title.. Basically how using authentication tokens can improve security

Having 2-step verification has been a life-saver for my youtube channel. Was constantly being targeted by hackers trying to get into my channel/paypal. They used several very very smart methods to get my password but it was practically impossible for them to get my phone to let them in :D

Is that the exact title (because it should be "its" not "it's")?

I like the way my bank does it - when I set up a new payment they call me and I have to enter the 4 digit code on screen into the phone. Is that the sort of thing you're talking about?

I'm exhausted. Spent most of today at the laptop.

I can't be at home tomorrow, so that'll be fun.

Same here for my Instagram - I was on there early and was lucky to get "Woz"...but people are constantly trying to steal it.

Any idea what those methods were? Would you be willing to let me quote you in my project?

You're correct haha that's not the exact title, I just typed it really quickly

That's exactly it, I've just finished a chapter on SMS verification

Please quote it as "Michaelgball : 2 step verification user and eFestival glasto resale forum member" in your dissertation. Guarantee it will go unnoticed by the marker.

My brother only got his refund/email for his ticket around lunchtime today, so its obviously taken a while to work through the refund side of things, and I can't see them sticking tickets back on while they are still working through the refunds. 

On a positive note, hopefully this means they had a lot of refunds to work through.

Only if you want it writing about the woes of not getting a Glastonbury ticket. Or unicorns. Those are my only areas of expertise.

The two that caught me out were:

They gathered as much information about me as they possibly could, called up gmail and pretended to be me to get a password reset.

Second one, kinda my fault, but they searched for leaked forum databases using my email address. Found a few websites i had used several years in the past that had their username/password files leaked. I stupidly had a slightly predictable pattern in my passwords and they figured it out using two different databases. 

For example i'd have "Peanutbutterface16" for facebook 2016. and id have "Peanutbuttertwit15" for twitter 2015

Personally I think doing it via mobile somehow is the best way in terms of ease of use for the consumer. One of my other bank accounts gave me that mini keypad thing but it's useless if you don't have it when you need it!!

Not sure if this is it, but I have 2 hotmail email addresses and at one point they were the verification for each other. So I would get a "you're logging in from a different location, we've sent an email to your other email *****@hotmail.com - go and click that link to log in." So I'd try to log into my other hotmail and I'd get the same message just with the other email address!!! I've changed that verification method now...

I'm back I swear I just needed a vodka break. My brain feels fried after today. Still not leaving until at LEAST 7 though.

Do you prefer that method over, say, using a USB dongle to verify your identity when logging in to internet banking?

Yeah that probably wasn't a great idea
