this new 2 step verification +5 % bonus is totally unfair for people like me who don't have the needs or have the money to get a smartphone

Sell me a independent Black Desert one, that don't need anything, like the one I get from my banks.

you can as well use a desktop app for 2fa.

There is option to register PC and get this buff but i did register my PC and still no buff.

Seriously, you have to think about it again. How come it is unfair, if you may even download the desktop auth app and have the same bonuses. I found PA being genuine and generous for letting us have this oppurnity. Kakao never did such thing. Just the one time 7d value pack for changing password. Think about it again. It is permanent 5% bonus.. as long as you are opted in.

that is the only kind of 2fa methode I will trust

no need of anything external to it

my Bank does it too

there is no way I going to

1. buy a phone for that single reason

2 use an unofficial / unsupported third party software by pearl abyss, unless a GM or CM come here an tell me  hey yes you can use this we approve it and support it .

Well, the drop rate isn't a flat 5% boost (that would be broken). It's 5% of whatever the orignal drop rate was. 5% of .01 only means you have a rate of .012% to get the items that drop at that rate.

You can easily get a super cheap smartphone for less than $60, and have it on a prepaid plan, meaning you don't even have to charge the account, and the phone will still work.

The OTP option is the authenticator of your choice. Some people use Google Authenticator, and others use Authy. The application/program you use for 2FA is your choice.

I registered also my PC and the buff is not aktivated, it told me that u get the buff for pc registration :(

Its a temporary buff for a month anyway. Don't force yourself, it's insignificant.

droprate is perma, according to page.
