Title: Re: Two-factor authentication Post by: keewee on December 04, 2013, 02:40:11 AM I was expecting a different question in here when I saw the title and I can't answer the OP's question, sorry.
But what I was wondering is if there had been any consideration to implementing two factor authentication in any of the bitcoin clients? Passwords can be guessed, or discovered through key-logging, but with 2FA enabled the coins could not be spent Title: Re: Two-factor authentication Post by: Gavin Andresen on December 04, 2013, 03:47:40 AM https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/5616606 sketches out one way to do it.
Title: Re: Two-factor authentication Post by: Ecurb123 on December 04, 2013, 05:40:38 PM Yeah I do really good passwords but I'm afraid of keylogging. Lets me ask something else, does the application have to support 2FA or is there another way?

It's a passwordless multi-factor (possession, inherence, knowledge) solution. If you want to see it in action and get a feel for the user experience you can use this wallet: https://faucet.launchkey.com
