Humble Bundle website redesign draws complaints over logins and security

What changed

Humble Bundle, the store known for discounted game bundles, has rolled out a redesign of its website. According to Notebookcheck, the company did not announce the overhaul in advance. Instead, shoppers spotted the differences themselves and began discussing them on Reddit.

The changes affect everyday use of the store. Users report that the game library has been reworked and is now harder to browse, with fewer titles shown per page and problems with filters and search.

Security concerns after the redesign

The more serious complaints concern account security. Users say that app-based two-factor authentication, a second login step that protects accounts beyond a password, was unavailable after the redesign, at least initially. In some cases, email codes were used instead during sign-in.

According to user reports, it was also possible to set a new password without confirming the old one. Notebookcheck notes these worries matter because Humble Bundle accounts can hold stored payment information.

Who is affected

Anyone with a Humble Bundle account could be affected, particularly people who bought games recently or keep payment details on file. The complaints are based on user reports on Reddit rather than statements from the company, so the full extent of the problems is not confirmed.

Some users say two-factor authentication has started working again for them. There is no confirmation that it has been restored for everyone, which could suggest its disappearance was unintentional.

What to do next

Humble Bundle has not issued an official statement about the redesign or the reported issues. Shoppers may want to be cautious when making purchases until the company clarifies the situation.

Readers who rely on two-factor authentication should check whether it is active on their account and watch for guidance from Humble Bundle's official support channels.
