Mail.Ru announces the start of closed beta testing two-factor authentication

Habr, hello! We are glad to share with you great news: we have been working on implementing two-factor authentication in Mail.Ru services for a long time and now, on the eve of the New Year, are suddenly ready to start a closed beta test. We invite everyone to participate.

In our implementation, the second factor is the code sent via SMS to the phone number connected to the account.

We decided to start closed beta testing of two-factor authentication with Mail - this is one of the key services for us, which is also the most critical from the point of view of protecting user data. As we have said, we are also working to support it on other Mail.Ru projects. That is why in the application for participation in testing, we ask you to specify what products you use, and we will provide access to them as soon as they are ready.

Any feedback on the work of two-factor authentication can be sent to the address o.parinov@corp.mail.ru . And if you find security bugs, you can declare them through our bug bounty program , in which we pay the discovered vulnerabilities to the researchers.

To take part in testing, leave a request at https://help.mail.ru/surveys/2auth . We are ready to provide access to the first beta testers before the New Year, so that you can test the functionality during the holidays.
