Thanks.

For those having issues with it and using Google Authentication,

 

1. If you have your Social Club pass saved, remember that its linked to your email address and not your username.

2. Be sure to enter your Authentication Code BEFORE you re-enter your Social Club password. 

3. SIGN OUT OF SOCIAL CLUB.

4. Sign back in and re-enter the Authentication Code when prompted. 

5. Voila, it should work.

Just get and use Google Authenticator for your phone, painless and useful elsewhere.

In Authy, by pressing the Settings (small gear top left), you'll be able to change your phone number.

 

In terms of the phone version for verification... no idea.

1) Change phone number?

 

The Microsoft Authenticator app doesn't require a phone number.

 

2) Change phone? + 3) Hard reset phone?

 

You can remove the 2-step verification system form the Social Club.

 

Open social club > settings > 2-step verification > remove.

Still getting failed authentication using Authy and Google Chrome.

If you happen to use Google Authenticator, DO NOT DELETE THE CODE GENERATOR. I thought I was done with it, so I deleted it and now I have no way of generating verification codes. When I try to log in though, it still asks for verification codes without giving that secret key again (which I assumed it would do every time), so I've locked myself out of my account and feel like quite the fool. Gotta talk to R* support now.

I kinda wished Google Authenticator had time-based codes sync with your Google account... and not just the application itself. Easy way to lose accounts when you lose the app or your phone.

Me too. Balls to it now. They can keep their money and their gold bars. It's a social club site for a video game at the end of the day, who needs the ball ache....

[CanadianMuscle 4,897]

Read a few articles on for the reward for 2-Step Verification can be claimed soon, as well as future benefits for GTA Online and Red Dead Online.

 

Looking at the comments, though...some people are just downright impatient.

 

"Bro I did it when do i get it"

"Tried it and it doesnt work"

"Doesn't work, trash"

 

Goddamn. Some people... R* will deliver like they have before.

I know it would make it so much simpler and safer. On the bright side, R* support was quick to help me get back in to my account once I proved I was who I said I was.

I had also reached out to Google in making this change; they're likely to do so in the near future since they had actually taken some of my past "recommendations" for other services.

 

I've seen they take security seriously, so I hope they make second-layer authentication easier to use.

[IceDree 16,384]

 

 

🤣

[lennymuhboi 476]

They made this extremely difficult. I give up.

[kcole4001 10,566]

Still getting failed error, submitted a ticket, have no expectations of success.

 

OK, as a last resort I made a second account in Authy (called it Social Club 2) and began all over, I think this might have worked finally.

Hopefully won't have to do this again.

Just got my 500,000

[Debesta 177]

In the time it would take to get the weirdest 2-step verification system I've ever seen work, I could just make 500,000. Here's how you do 2 step verification:

 

#1: Enter your cell number

#2: Get code and enter into site

 

If the system itself takes more steps to implement than are in it's name, you're doing something wrong.

[kcole4001 10,566]

My issue was with using Google Chrome to simulate a cel phone, which I do not own, and I was not going to potentially pollute my wife's phone with an app she'll never use (intentionally, anyway 🙂).

 

R* support had responded to my ticket rather quickly, I must say.

I logged in to the game and played a few client and VIP jobs (about an hour), then logged out and checked my email and there was a response from an actual person, not a bot.

Same, hoping it's just on R*s end as I'm doing everything correctly as far as I can tell.

Why do you say this exactly? Doesn't seem to matter on my end which one I enter first neither way works for me.

Edit: also a bit confused on your first point, like my email addy isn't my SC handle, but it's still the handle I use to log into the SC with? Like the way you're saying that feels like you're implying I'm possibly using the wrong password even?

[PaeganLoveSong 718]

Each time I entered my pass before, either through autofill or copy/paste, it didn't take. It only took when I had the authentication code entered before throwing in my pass.

[Foxwolfe 1,447]

Yeah even trying it that way, and typing out the password instead of using the auto fill, still getting authentication errors 😕

[guster-von 134]

I am now having an issue signing into Social Club both on the web and through Launcher.

 

I am receiving the error: "The email address and password combination entered do not match any account..."

 

Strange thing is I can sign into the Social Club website from another computer.

 

Any suggestions? Thanks!

[UKPortista 1,661]

Dicking around with this convoluted nonsense was worth a lot more than $500k & a few gold bars.

[MarczXD 415]

Every time i enter log in the Social Club it asks me to put my email/password and after that my authenticator code. So i assume i did right.

 

However i didn't won the money yet, and it's been hours since i did this.

[Happy Hunter 51,740]

I don't know that I want to give any phone numbers to be honest, not unless I have to anyway. For some reason I can picture myself getting f*cked somehow with this too, like locked out of my account, getting steps wrong and having some headaches or something.

 

I can miss out on the money and gold bars, but I really want to know what "future benefits" are. Is it unique stuff? Stuff I won't want to miss?

 

Good thread anyway, detailed steps.

Social club down, can't change crew color, don't f*ck me R*!

[White Shark 7,424]

Got my 500k this morning.  Sweet!
