[X-Post /r/uplay] 2-factor authentication for Uplay is a disaster. It is being randomly activated on peoples accounts, effectively preventing people from playing the games they purchased

I had this happen to me a few days ago and I wouldn't really call it a disaster. Just had to contact support and they turned it off within a few minutes. More of an inconvenience than a disaster.

Not surprising. Uplay is a mess, and rather than solve the problems with core features like.. downloading, installing, updating games they'd rather just come up with a new achievement system (they were at 3 the last I checked) or some other bullshit social feature.
