I was forced to enable two step verification this morning when logging in here. I see there is an option to disable it, but if I do , will it just force me to enable it again?

I've just turned it off, it was a mistake my side.

I'm trying to combat the increasing amount of spam, mainly from gmail users that we seem to be getting.

I have created a group, verified members that has permission to post without moderation and I added you to it but unfortunately had left the 2FA switched on.

I'm going to prevent users from posting without moderation until they have made a sensible post then they will get moved to the verified members group.

Sorry for that :)

Thank you for that, and I agree about the spam problem.
I sometimes find 2FA difficult, because I work in places that don't allow mobile phones, and I don't always have an email account setup on the laptop I may be using at the time. I do generally have a soft phone though, so I can call someone up and ask them, to do the 2FA for me and then read back the number!
