Hi,
I searched the forums and I was able to find an old thread, locked since some time now.
How about adding the option for 2FA when logging in? An integration with Google Authenticator or similar would greatly reduce the risk of account theft/ impersonation/ etc.
Thoughts? Ideas?
You are going to have to wait for it in the new forum software that is being polished up
Any plans for implementing some sort of a 2FA in the new forum? (this is especially important for people conducting trades over the forum)
Yes, there will be 2FA.
Admin has been reluctant to implement 2FA on this forum software, probably because it will be so time-consuming and so hard a task. You are definitely not the first to request for it
If someone wants to write a patch for it, I will seriously consider adding it. I believe that safely adding 2FA would be very time-consuming, so I'm not willing to do it myself or direct Slickage to do it.
That wouldn't eliminate the need for manual recoveries; it might even increase it as people lose their second factor. 2FA would be nice, but IMO the email notifications provide many of the same benefits, so it's not high on my to-do list.
