For the new wallet, would it be wise to add 2fa to the new electrum wallet?
What do you want to achieve?

If you create a 2FA wallet, you will be asked to enter the 2FA code whenever spending bitcoin.
This will make your fund secure in the case your device is stolen or someone manage to access your wallet file.

Note that even if your wallet is 2FA, your seed phrase is enough for spending your bitcoin. If your seed phrase is compromised, your fund will be stolen.

Also note that, as stated by Charles-Tim, you will have to pay an additional fee to trustedCoin (Electrum 2FA wallet provider).

Yes I want to secure it with the Google 2FA so that before sending btc I would enter both the passphrase and the 2fa btc my fear now is this, if I lose the 2fa then what? is there a way to recover the 2fa in my electrum account?
