ah but when I say that it's a lot for some it's a reality, I mean the PGP is not necessarily for everyone, nowadays people use platforms like Binance or Coinbase with the 2FA of google, I don't think they necessarily see the side being their own bank.

And a lot of people here just buy, that's why I was saying for sellers and creators, I assume that a Creator already has a lot of Opsec behind.

But I agree that the people who are here should get out of their comfort zones and learn in depth, but here people have such a close life and I don't think everyone has time to do that unfortunately

You have good points MrCryptHodl  

But I say, let's not focus all our efforts on changing the platform, but keep encouraging change from our users.

You are right, the Binances/Coinbases of the world are simplifying crypto, which is the key for adoption, but those platforms are run under a strict set of rules to govern and protect its users. With that comes necessary restrictions - That mentality is for the ebays of the world.

But I don't totally disagree with your direction and points. Thanks for the discussion  

EDIT: We are both deff on the same page in the overall direction here. I just think we should be hesitant to cater to the convenience for all users on this specific platform; seems like a slippery slope. But +1 for login 2fa!

Unfortunately thermos already said multiple times that 2fa won't be implemented despite the fact that billions were spent on a new forum that nobody uses.. will edit with links later.

Oh, a valid reason? Or does he just not want to spend time on it? because this is the Bitcoin Forum, it should not stay that way indefinitely, new people are starting to discover collectibles, they are coming to the Forum, everyone deserves protection. We don't try to modify the creation of Satoshi, just a 2FA in the forum XD

I completely agree with you, we are not going to put all our efforts on it, in any case we are making newcomers aware of this subject, whether through this post, or by PM, But I just find its not really good that the community does not have a say in it, it's not very Bitcoin.

and yes that for the ebay of this world what Binance or Coinbase do.

You're welcome ! thanks to you too

  2Fa with a yubikey would be great just like Gmail login setup.

So I can't find anywhere he addresses 2FA directly, but here are some of the many posts brought up about it since 2013.

Please, Google before making a repetitive suggestion.

Can bitcointalk.org get 2 factor authentication? (2013)
Why doesn't Bitcointalk support 2FA? (2016)
2FA on bitcoin talk (2017)
Isn't it time to introduce 2FA to enhance user account security ? (2018)

2Fa with a yubikey would be great just like Gmail login setup.

Good looking, we need more like you.

Yubi also came out with a yubi biometric version....even adding another layer of protection!

https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-bio-series/


Passwordless multi-factor authentication
Secure and convenient passwordless MFA login with the YubiKey Bio authenticator and biometric information using a fingerprint, with a PIN as a fallback.


   2Fa is the way to go with these type of log in requirements.

Actually phishing has been going on since 2014 at least, but I don't know how far back you can find it documented here ...

This change used to help, but I don't know if people know about it or not anymore, or even notice it's different.
