Until now, users were only able to login using a Social Account, specifically Google, LinkedIn or GitHub.
We are excited to announce that from today, users will also be able to create a local account on the Developer Community. When you click “Sign Up”, simply fill out the sign-up form with your chosen email, username and password.
Once your email address is confirmed, you will be logged in and taken to a page to setup 2FA, using either an Authenticator App or Physical Security Key (see screenshot below). You won’t be able to leave this page until one of these options is setup.
Please make a note of your Two-Factor Backup Codes.
Note that for security reasons we will not be able reset 2FA or passwords for local accounts. If you loose your details you will need to create a new account.
Happy Posting!
