Setting Up 2FA On Steam
Players of Path of Exile 2 who are concerned about security breaches can take proactive steps to protect their accounts. While Grinding Gear Games has not yet implemented a two-factor authentication system for PoE 2, players who have purchased the game on Steam can link their Steam account to enhance security. By downloading the Steam app on their phone and setting up Steam Guard, players can receive notifications of login attempts along with information about the location and IP address of the attempt. This added layer of security can help safeguard accounts from unauthorized access.
Password Changing
Changing passwords regularly is a simple yet effective way to prevent hackers from gaining access to Path of Exile 2 accounts for malicious purposes. Players can change their PoE 2 password by visiting the official Path of Exile website, navigating to their account name, selecting “Manage account,” and clicking on the Change Password button. In the absence of a dedicated security system from GGG, changing passwords periodically can make it more difficult for hackers to compromise accounts.
Avoid Price Check Overlays
Some overlay apps offering price-checking features for items in PoE 2 may require access to player accounts to function properly. Given the recent security breach affecting Path of Exile 2 players, it is advisable to steer clear of these overlays until they are deemed more secure. Players should exercise caution and opt for trustworthy software solutions to minimize the risk of falling victim to data breaches.
