    Me too. I already have 2 factor authentication setup on my forum account. Now I just need to secure my Minecraft and skype accounts as well as my twitter.

    I've done forums and 1 Mc account. I'll do the rest later, but those are the only ones I really care about right this second. Got 2 factor auth on both plus incredibly secure passwords.

    If I change everything to a really, really long password, write it down and put it somewhere on my pcs files will that work?

    Yeah it would. Just make sure the file is pretty hidden and the file name isn't obvious, just in case.

    I suggest storing at least 1 copy on a different device (pc, phone, ect.). That way if your pc dies, you don't have to go through the hassle of trying to recover your accounts.

    When you get a Mojang account, it'll ask you to setup security questions.

    Drop down on your name > 2 factor authentication > tick use two factor authentication > click save. Done. Then, if you want to secure your mc account, set security questions from the mojang site. Then, make a really random password, write it down, store it somewhere. Type it up, store it on a secret file on your pc, and make a few backups and store them in random files so your pc doesn't mess up and you lose it.

    You need an app called Google Authenticator for 2 factor to work on the forums.
