Make your eNom account more secure.
Domain name investors who use eNom can now turn on two-factor authentication to secure their accounts.
Setting up two-factor authentication is fairly simple. Once you log into your account, look for “Two Step Verfication” (sic) under the Account Overview:
Click edit to start the process. eNom uses the Google Authenticator app, which is simple to set up. It’s also easier to use than a text message system since there are no network delays.
After setting up two-factor authentication, you’ll be prompted for the extra code next time you log in.
A number of valuable domain names have been stolen from eNom accounts over the past couple years, and two-factor authentication can cut down on this. However, I suspect many of the thefts occurred in reseller accounts, and those resellers will also need to offer two-factor authentication to their customers.

I am hoping the mis-spelling is an homage to my Twitter handle @RghtsideSean… (we are fixing the typo now. Thanks for the heads up!)
Andrew Allemann says
I’ve wondered about your twitter handle. What’s the story?
Sean Ottey (@RghtsideSean) says
[Note, we fixed the typo. Thanks again]
The story is that i fat fingered the name when i created the account AND wasn’t aware you could change your handle after the fact.
Eventually, it grew on me. So I kept it.
When asked, I generally reply “Because there is no ‘I’ in Rightside… wait.”

It’s great until you forget it and then there is no way of gaining access, or resetting it.
Jer says
Any suggestions to recovering it if you forgot it?
