Following recent credential-stuffing campaigns targeting gaming and modding communities, we have implemented several proactive hardening steps to safeguard all kyo3xrex member accounts.

Mandatory Security Policies

  • Argon2id Hashing: All passwords on kyo3xrex are salted and hashed using Argon2id with strict memory and time costs.
  • Mandatory 2FA: Staff, Developer, and VIP accounts must configure Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP).
  • Never Reuse Passwords: If you use the same password on third-party gaming forums or Discord, update it immediately to a unique generated phrase.

Remember to store your emergency recovery keys in an encrypted password manager or offline safe. Staff will never ask for your passwords or 2FA codes in private messages.

Enabled TOTP via Aegis on my phone. Takes literally 30 seconds to scan the QR code. Protect your accounts folks.
