Good stuff @spacey -- we're going to add this (and the other one) thread as a blog post as snoopy suggested.

Spacey that is great news!

Good to hear also generally that Godaddy seems to have a new policy of doing something, or maybe it is a new Verisign policy?

Hey Paul there is no doubt that Godaddy did most of the work getting it back, whether Verisign had to threaten eName we may never know, but it is a correct result so gotta be happy enough with Godaddy for now, I did thank them and mentioned this could have been avoided in the first place!

[...]This discussion has prompted me to send an email on this issue to my GoDaddy account rep, so we'll see what happens. If they bring in two-step authentication soon, I'll stick with them. Aside from the lack of this security feature, I've personally found them excellent to deal with.

I've heard back from my account rep and they've suggested a solution that I'm happy with for now. I did reiterate though that two-step authentication should be implemented.

Premier Service clients can access a free security feature called Domain Transfer Validation Security (DTVS). Basically it means that they'll call you if a domain transfer out or change of account is initiated, once you provide a PIN and verbal approval the transfer continues, otherwise it will be declined after 72 hours (3 days).

This won't solve the problem for people that only have a few domains at GoDaddy, as they won't have access to the DTVS service.

I've still got a few hundred domains with them so that's good news

Pleased to say I was able to work something out with them and no domain can leave my account without a phonecall to me first ........normally about 2.30 am

Yeah my account rep had floated that idea too, wasn't feasible for a number of reasons.
