Is there a desktop wallet client that uses two factor authentication?  I know it's an extra step of paranoid, but, well, that seems not entirely unjustified.  I googled, but to no avail... too hard to filter out the online wallets with 2FA.

There are plans to implement 2FA support into Electrum. Not available yet.

That's great news indeed for us paranoid folks! I'll be jumping on this update for sure.

You can't authenticate offline.. It's like having a captcha locally. It makes no sense.

Its why your windows password is useless. Once I have physical access, there is 0 security except encryption but that can be brute forced limitlessly. A server can throttle you.

Currently I just have my wallet on my computer. Lets say someone has access to my computer, can they just copy it to an USB stick, and open it at home to do transactions with it?
