Two Factor Authentication Yes or No?

[Jason Simonds]

Should we move the forums to Two Factor Authentication?

We can support 2 options Authy and/or Google Authenticator

I'm not sure it's needed because the data we store is not much and really if someone logs in as you here, the worst they can really do is spam users.

But if Yes wins, I will install it.

I would say: Not necessary.

There really is no important data stored with the account and as far as I can see,
there is no problem with hacked accounts or hacking approaches. It may be a different thing for the store, but even there I do not see a real reason for it.

If people think we really should use 2FA (and I do not see why), the worst thing I can think of would be Google Authenticator.
Google is the biggest data seller on this planet and should not be used on websites and / or other services if not absolutely necessary. (very rarely that is the case)

I do not know about Authy, but anything other than monopolistic companies is still a little better than the big G.

Best regards

I think two-factor is excessive for what we do here.

If we had a problem with hackers changing people's profiles or editing their posts, maybe that security would be needed, but we don't have that ... yet.
