2fa is enabled in essence because when someone tries to hack and take access of your account you can lock it via the link in the email you get if it wasn't you. The issue is is that most people complaining in Meta are waiting for their accounts to be restored to them by an admin which isn't really happening. Better 2fa options will be available on the new forum but the email lock is probably as good as we're going to get on this one.

when exactly is the email sent? what is defined as "tries to hack"? do you mean when the password is changed?
it's not really 2fa because if someone else has the password they can login with just that

I insist proper 2fa should be implemented. it seems simple https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2859085.0

someone said it could brake things (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2859085.msg29944712#msg29944712) but I don't think that's very likely. at least it should be tried in a test version (I guess there's a private test version of this forum where things are tested before going live?)

Yes to my understanding it's as soon as any details changed including the password and email. I've yet to test this since this has been added but, you only have to look around and people have already posted what the message contains when it's sent to you and it's as easy as clicking that link within 15? days.
