One of the biggest problems with bitcoin is security.

I would like to see developed a new Bitcoin Desktop wallet that gave the option to its users of enabling 2FA security.
The company who develops this will be surely a winner...
Am I wrong or is there someone already working on it?

It is already made mate. Its name is Coinbase and have the two factor authentication possibility to be enabled if you want. If I chose I cannot enter at my coinbase wallet without the code that must come to my cell phone. You have various options then to use. I sent you with pm the joining link if you would want to use this wallet.

Coinbase is an online wallet not desktop!

and when it comes to security of bitcoin wallets, all online wallets are at the far end of the list no matter how many 2FA they have. besides coinbase is worse thanblockchain.info IMO, because you don't even have access to your private keys and they can and do ban you for many reasons which will cut your access to your funds. not to mention if they stop their service and run away!
Coinbase is an online wallet, Blockchain and other online wallet also has 2FA.  Grin

But like as he says you don't have accses to your private keys, So 2FA as much as anything that you still use your wallet as controlled by others.  Cheesy

So what we need is a offline wallet that has a different 2FA as 2FA owned by google, Offline Wallet more secure because only you know about private keys and everything about your wallet.
Yes, offline wallet is 100% secured. My entire btc are stored in the deep cold storage.
