Devs, will 2FA wallet feature be included with SFRPay release?

Sorry 2FA will not be released now. After some testing, we found out that, since servers need to be contacted to verify 2FA, if they are down including Google servers, then the user that has 2FA activated will just not be able to send coins. That is against decentralization concept. So we will wait till we create our own version of 2FA that can address these flaws.

As long as we can still use our google authenticator app for it then that is fine, as google 2FA uses standard algorithms for generating the time-based sequence of numbers.  There would be no need to have any centralization.

Yes but those entire algorithms have to be embedded into the Qt app. Google provides code for website and other apps integration. We can do the same by integrating a mini website but that wouldn't be effective. Also it wouldn't be nice if the wallet makes a connection to our server to check if this wallet has 2FA enabled. We need to create a separate Dat file to store all these which would be more efficient. We will work on all this and come up with an effective solution later.
