Hello, Escapers!

Recently, account theft cases have become more frequent and we strongly recommend supplementing your security settings with two-factor authorization.

You can enable two-factor authorization in the security settings located on your profile page.

To use it, you should install the google authenticator program on your phone or tablet.

This will greatly complicate the life of attackers trying to encroach on your belongings!

Thank you for your attention!

Respectfully yours, the Escape from Tarkov team.
