We’ve rolled out Two-Factor Authentication for Vivaldi accounts and a new reputation system for Vivaldi Webmail access.

Hello,
I have just switched on vivaldi for my company.
I would like to use the webmail feature to be my pro mail adress but where I should post to earn it ? I'm not sure to understand the conditions.

@DoctorG Hi,
Thanks for this concise and quick answer.
If using the sync function is enough to unlock the webmail, it's really great.

I'm not a regular user of social networks, so I was worried to never get reputation points.

Take care.

@RogerBytes If the only thing you do is use sync, be prepared to wait a while for webmail to come unlocked for you. The more qualifying activities you take part in, and the more actively, the shorter time you are likely to have to wait.

Reputation points. This is a very good idea. The web is almost unbearable at times with the quantity of bad participants.

Great!

Ok. Must wait..

I've been using a Feitian A4B key for important accounts. Much cheaper to acquire than Yubikeys, so it's lower hurdle to get started with. And also just mechanically and everything it's easier in comparison to a smartphone app. Does not matter if you have charged your phone, or if you use one at all. Better suited to older people imo.

I tried enabling 2FA via TOTP on my account, but my app (Aegis on Android) is unable to scan the generated QR code; the image looks somewhat blurry. Has anyone else encountered this?

@LenzGr For me on https://login.vivaldi.net/profile/2fa/totp with 6.5.3217.122 Android 10 and 6.5.3206.63 Windows 11 23H2 the QR code in Settings of forum profile for 2 factor auth is sharp, not blurry.

I just signed up for Vivaldi and came across this website after a couple of attempts to log into webmail. While I am disappointed that I can't use it immediately, I'm happy this blog post well elaborates on how it came to be and the reason for it all. This is a smart system!

@DoctorG sadly it is for me - see this screen shot attached. This was created by visiting https://login.vivaldi.net/profile/2fa/totp using Firefox 123.0 (I know...) on Fedora Linux.
