PGP 2FA : DarkNetMarkets | Torhoo darknet markets

I’m interested in understanding how darknet markets implement PGP-based 2FA (two-factor authentication) on their websites. Could anyone explain how this system works in that context?

First, you provide your public key to the market. Then, each time you log in, the market sends you an encrypted message, containing a code you need to achieve authentication. Works the exact same way on Dread. Try it out :)

It works like this:

A customer generates a PGP key pair: private and public.
The customer publishes their public key on the darknet market’s website.
When the customer wants to log in or make a transaction, the market generates a verification code and encrypts it using the customer’s public key.
The customer decrypts the verification code using their private key.
The customer enters the verification code on the market’s website to complete the authentication process.
