That might explain why their site wasn't responding for a bit. Probably getting hammered with traffic and new signups.
I don't see a Coinbase support thread or a main discussion thread for CoinBase here on BitcoinTalk.
I just realized a flaw with how I was using their Two-Factor authentication. Coinbase doesn't use 2FA/Google Authenticator but instead used Authy. Authy is a great, easy to use mobile client. The way they transmit the secure code is via SMS. However, I personally don't trust SMS as it is not a secure transport method. And if you use something like Google Voice for your text messaging, that means that if you e-mail is compromised, the attacker can get Authy to send another SMS with a new code and then the attacker has the ability to get the Authy OTP as well.
That is definitely more work for the attacker than simple username + password, but it still is not the level necessary for protecting a larger value in a Coinbase E-Wallet. For consumer level amounts this Authy 2FA will probably be plenty adequate.
