I thought I couldn't log in because I noticed OTP below the password but it works just fine without entering any code.
I think the OTP should only show up after you log in so that only those who do not enable 2FA don't see this OTP Box.

When FIDO2 ?
Another feature we need is the forum notification feature. Thanks theymos and PowerGlove.
Do we really need that notification feature considering that we get email notifications for new messages on the forum and also to follow posts or Threads on can actually use the watchlist option or better still go for the telegram notifications by TryNinja or if you’re not on telegram there is that of LoyceV also here. Although this one’s aren’t for the direct forum but would do for now
Well, that was actually great news, I mean it was discussed here in the forum for a long time already and many members want another layer of security here in the forum. There are obviously some cases of hacking here in the forum where the Bitcoin address staking works fine as a layer of security when it comes to recovering your account. Probably the last thing that you could do in order to recover your account in case your email is already compromised, I mean that would make sense if the 2FA doesnt provide any protection on compromised emails.
Anyway, It was working great and fast, but didn't really use it since I'm always stay login on to my desktop computer, but added layer of security is welcome since it is going to be useful in the future in protecting accounts.
Thank You PowerGlove,theymos

Thanks @theymos & @PowerGlove for getting this done. An urgently needed feature and a huge improvement. Good job! Will test the feature asap and hope everything works as intended.
I just shared your post on our local German board, since not everyone might be reading the Meta board.
I really hope that other users will share this important new feature in their local boards so as many users as possible know about it and actually use it.
In conclusion using the 2FA you have to be a kinda speedy because the code expires every minutes.
Have I started to hear the complain now that 2fa code expires too quick 😂?Another feature we need is the forum notification feature. Thanks theymos and PowerGlove.
Thank you PowerGlove for getting this done and thank theymos for letting him work on it for us. This is a big improvement IMO to the forum and much needed.
However for me, I am fine. I have my btc address staked. I think nothing I have to worry.
Until your account gets hacked and is used to post malware, leading to a permanent ban. That's when you will realize that the staked BTC address is useless. I think i know someone in this state whose account is still banned up to now despite opening a ban appeal including a signed message.I got hacked some time back, so I take no chances. 2FA is more than welcome

I just saw that new one-time password box when I signed in earlier. Looks like they finally added that two-factor authentication thing people have been asking for. It's about time theymos made the call to beef up security around here 
I'll test it out later, but it seems like a smooth system theyve put together. Should make life easier for all of us.

After all the discussions about 2FA and now it's finally implemented in the forum. I can't imagine the pressure it is for theymos when deciding on adding the 2FA or not because of previous discussion of the same topic. Before reading the OP, I checked the title and it says 2FA added then it came to my mind that there might be someone who is behind it. It's still new and there could be bugs and etc. Considering it is added on the forum recently then having someoneo complaining about it already been noticed y many and then fixed later and also it's improvement.
Wow, I really can't believe what I read. 2FA. We were waiting for 2FA for so long and it finally happened. And it's not even April's Fools day joke 
. We needed it a lot, huge thanks to PowerGlove and theymos !

And I think it's ok, 2FA code should remain active for long. 
I never would have thought we would have 2FA on the forum, so many threads have been created on the subject. It shows Theymos does stay current with all that’s going in the forum. Thanks to Powerglove for playing a big role in making this happen. Thank you Theymos for the Christmas gift. I hope we will getting at least one merit source requests approved this holidays.
Pleassseee I can’t stop laughing

Have I started to hear the complain now that 2fa code expires too quick 😂?
Let me know if there are any bugs.
Not bugs but some questions and suggestions.
Why this Confirmation OTP field has to be password filed? I think it should be normal text field.
Specially here
Why the name is like BTCT:u1634314?
I understand u1634314 is my userid but why not "shahzadafzal" more easy to remember specially for those who have multiple accounts.
Also instead of BTCT i think it should be bitcointalk.
Yes I understand we can changed it after adding. But but in Microsoft Authenticator you can't change the userid u1634314. You can only change BTCT to Bitcointalk.

You have done a great job Theymos by adding that feature into the site. We'll should be thankful to PowerGlove who devoted his time to make that feature possible on the forum. I believe it's one the best features we all wanted to have and thanks to theymos and PowerGlove for adding that to the forum.
Well done! Theymos and Power Glove
I did a quick review on the new 2FA feature..
- I enabled the 2FA using the Authenticator app and it gave me a little had time to enable because of the time limit (Expiration of code) of Authenticator while imputing my password to enable 2FA.
- After enabling it was kinda hard too to login because of the same reason above. Though it might be my from my devices response.
-I noticed the pop up notification that warns for incorrect 2FA key (code)
- Also disabled it to find bugs but found non yet, I will key an eye on to find errors on it.
In conclusion using the 2FA you have to be a kinda speedy because the code expires every minutes.
Nice work 👍

Thanks to PowerGlove, who did 90% of the work on this, the much-requested 2-factor authentication feature has finally been added. You can enable it in your Account Settings, and then you have to give the code when logging in. If you don't have 2FA enabled, you have to leave the OTP field blank when logging in.
I think this was one of the most wanted expected feature everyone had in their list. However for me, I am fine. I have my btc address staked. I think nothing I have to worry. hero member

Go after the goal... Go!!! It is worth getting!
Nice work! It's really good that you have integrated the 2FA feature into the forum because it will definitely add additional security to an individual's account, unless for those who get very careless to the extent of releasing all of their information to the hacker whom they fall victims to. I like these new features and will gladly set them up on my account if I am ready.
If you use the forgotten-password function, then there's an option to remove the 2FA. So 2FA does not provide any protection in case of a compromised email.
When I first learned about the 2FA features when I wanted to log into my account this is the area I was concerned with based on what I have experienced after the loss of phone where the 2FA application was installed with the saved backup code.Glad that there's an option to remove the 2FA.
