Magic Online Account Security

In an effort to increase the account security of players, Two-Factor Authentication is in “active development.” Until its implementation, MTGO encourages players to practice good password habits and be aware of the following:

  • Password Re-Use: There have been no Magic Online data breaches under Daybreak, but a data breach or bad actors on a website where you have re-used your Magic Online password can lead to bad actors trying the password elsewhere. Never re-use your Magic Online password or one similar to it.
  • Password Sharing: Whether given intentionally to friends or unintentionally to phishing and social engineering efforts, sharing your password with any person or entity puts your account at serious risk of theft.
  • Password Strength: Accounts with passwords that are guessable, short, or overly simple are at greater risk of theft. Make your password strong!”
