Kean_1 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Rockstar Games to reward users who add extra security verification to Social Club accounts Kyle Evans, 56 mins ago 0 1 min read We see a lot of people on Twitter not very happy because their Social Club accounts have been hacked and they can’t get them back. A lot of these people won’t have 2 step verification to help them out. Well, now Rockstar Games is pushing for people to start using Two-step verification. Secure your Social Club account with Two-step verification and you’ll be rewarded with: 10 Gold Bars in Red Dead Online $500,000 in Grand Theft Auto Online Future benefits for GTA Online Future benefits for Red Dead Online Now, let’s hope this is a good enough way to persuade people to secure their accounts. 2

BropolloCreed79 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I'll join the R* Social Club when they give me a reason to. Gold bars for a nice belt or a hat isn't going to cut it for me. 1

Just thought others like me would want to cash in on the free GBs and/or GTA money.

jnaron_ngc Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 Can't seem to get past scanning the QR code, where does verification code appear?

I was using the Google authenticator app and was given a 6 digit code that I entered. Your password is your Social Club password. I believe there is another option listed if you can't scan the code.
nshanny73 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 I didn't get any indication that the process was confirmed... I do see a REMOVE option now so I guess it went through?

I did however get an email later that confirmed it. .....so I would say yes, it did set up correctly since I saw the same thing you are seeing. 1
nshanny73 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 cool... got the confirm email... thanks again Kean_1 if it's free, it's me
nshanny73 Posted March 7, 2019 Posted March 7, 2019 seems rockstar likes to toss us gold bars but never cold hard cash what would the equivalent of $500,000 GTAO? $5,000? I'd actually prefer that over gold bars at the moment

McLawDiz Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 I just did this. How will i know if they added the goldbars? - Will it come with the usual "You have been gifted"on my startpage when launching RDR?

Zampen Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 (edited) Philip K. (Rockstar Support)Mar 8, 09:06 EST As an answer to your question, every player has to wait for 72 hours after the activation of the 2 step verification to receive the free gold bars. You will receive your free Gold bars after the completion of the time period automatically. Hope this resolves your question. Edited March 8, 2019 by Zampen 1
MrBigFatWhale Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Thanks for sharing this. My extra gold bars just arrived, and presumably my Social Club account is safe from hackers extorting my playing data to my employers.
Glopez Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I use 2 step for everything these days so what is one more thing? I'll do this in a bit. Does the gold show up instantly or are they waiting for a specific date to fork everyone their gold?
McLawDiz Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 I made the 2 step verification yesterday at 8`o clock in the morning. I got the 10 gold bars in the evening. It just doesent say "You have been giftet", it pops up in the upper left screen. "10" , and then its added. So just keep an eye on your total amount before and after.
Kean_1 Posted March 9, 2019 Author Posted March 9, 2019 Actually, I got mine this evening and an alert screen popped up stating that I had been gifted the 10 gold bars. 1
The_Liquor Posted March 9, 2019 Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Yeah, 10 gold bars, plus two more from the nuggets I’ve collected over time = a free Evans Repeater, that I kind of wanted but didn’t really want to waste the money on. i mean, I always seem to be scrimping and saving cash, then I look at gold I’m accumulating and think there’s nothing I really want to spend it on. But, free gold plus an item I kinda want but not really... I’ll take it Edited March 9, 2019 by The_Liquor
