Like most online platforms, RacingRulesOfSailing.org is a daily target for unauthorized access attempts. While the sources of these attacks are often identifiable, what matters most is our obligation to protect the data entrusted to us — particularly event data accessed by officials and organizers.

To that end, we are introducing two-factor authentication (2FA). Starting now, any user with access to event data can voluntarily enable 2FA when they sign in. We encourage everyone to do so sooner rather than later — this is also a good opportunity to confirm that the mobile number on your account is current and able to receive verification codes.

Effective June 1, 2026, 2FA will be mandatory for all officials. Anyone with access to event data will be required to verify their identity with a confirmation code at sign-in.

We recognize this adds a step to your login process, and we appreciate your patience. Keeping your account — and the data it can access — secure is a responsibility we take seriously.
