I like the idea as well, when it comes to security, it is something that we should prioritised. But, can I ask something? Is it possible to capture the user who is trying to access your account (when there is a failed log-in attempt) by using the front camera of the device if possible? and the image captured will be sent directly to your email address that is associated in in your account. Some security app supports this feature and I don't know if SMF or any website supports this feature but this would be somehow a cool one. But will be useless if the device's camera is covered.

As far as I know only applications are capable of this kind of feature so it can be added as security feature once there is a official app for Bitcointalk Grin

but still a bad idea since application softwares are reversedengineer-able or can be modified to use for phishing.

I don't know if websites have a proper access with your phone's camera or computer's webcam without a software installed that has the capability of doing so unlike apps which already have a program to do that but even them needs to have your device's permission first before they can even access your camera. As for the feature I suggested, my main point about this one is to have some kind of early prevention in order to change your password or even your email (if necessary) and not for the purposes of capturing someone doing the attempt, also I think your recommendation is only useful if you know the identity of that person, capturing an unknown face is useless.
