Two factor?

[MrWDunne]

Most bitcoin sites have it, seems like a good idea to be on here.

Seconded; I realize this will likely not be implemented until the eventual upgrade to new forum software, but it would definitely be nice to have.

[hilariousandco]

I doubt it'll be implemented on the current site but I think it's planned for the new forum software. It would be a very good idea and would stop a lot of accounts getting hacked.

[Pobre]

Move this suggestion to "New forum software" , Theymos may consider your appeal

[MrWDunne]

I would be really disappointed if it wasn't in the new forum software, and I don't see why it couldn't be added the the current. As far as things go it is fairly simple to add

[goozman96]

I dunno how much I'd trust inputting my phone number on this site, even if it is for 2FA.

It probably wont be mobile phone number verification but something like google authenticator or whatever.

Exactly

You guy should really read around a bit more.

Fancy Authentication

In addition to normal password authentication, the forum should support various kinds of of alternative authentication. At least password auth, email verification, secret questions, OpenID, PGP, OpenVPN (automatic creation of subnets + IP source verification), and Bitcoin address signing should be supported, with multiple allowable credentials for each auth type. Users should have the option of requiring any combination of these auth types. Like "pgp OR (password AND OpenID)". And users should be able to require that changes to some or all auth types as well as the required combination of types not take effect for some configurable number of days. This allows for different types of recovery methods.

Also, it should be possible to limit the access for each auth type. So one type might be able to only read, but not post, etc. If the Web interface uses the same API that is exposed publicly, then these permissions can be in the form of allowed API commands.

It might be nice to make this functionality into a self-contained library that other sites can use.

which is the only sticky in the new forum software part of the forum.

Perhaps there should be a new forum modification to avoid sticky blindness

[HeroC]

Good idea, preferably with the option for a Text, or Call or, app (Google Auth, Authy, etc.)
It is already going to be a part of the new forum software, but it is still good to get some feedback on it.

[mprep]

Not sure, but I think theymos mentioned that it will be included. Can't seem to find the exact post though.

[hilariousandco]

It's mentioned in the document linked above and sticked here in the sub.

[BCwinning]

As long as they don't require a phone number or using a google product.

[SirChiko]

Not phone number for sure but maybe PGP signed msg or google auth?

[acs267]

As long as they don't require a phone number or using a google product.

The majority of the users on this site respect anonymity. I doubt they'll ask for anything of the such as verification.

Google Auth seems the way to go in this one.

[NEM minnow]

I would really like to see 2FA on this site via Google Authenticator.  I am guessing it would be fairly easy for the admin to add.

I would really like to not see google products used on an anonymous coin.
