Keep in mind that some times computers are compromise via remote access to hackers so if you happen to have your f2a in your computer then that would help you at all, there is quite a good amount of options after that if your a security focus bitcoin user.

the wallet could have a cell phone mobile security step or a biometric verification before sending any funds.

Well now that you mention... where can I find that options? 2fa For a Desktop wallets I ain't heard about it yet! What I heard was about a company that could provide API access to their 2fa app. This could well be developed for any interested company.

One of the biggest problems with bitcoin is security.

I would like to see developed a new Bitcoin Desktop wallet that gave the option to its users of enabling 2FA security.
The company who develops this will be surely a winner...
Am I wrong or is there someone already working on it?

Yes, they need 2-factor possibly even three. People often complain about blockchain.info but if you have 2-factor and second password set up your coins are likely more safe than if they were just on your desktop.

Blockchain.info uses 2FA, even tho it's not a proper local blockchain based Bitcoin wallet. Im actually surprised I can't think of any software based Bitcoin wallet that has 2FA. There must be a reason for it. Maybe liking your phone to your wallet compromises privacy??

Yes, it seems that this type of security for desktop wallets is underdeveloped...
The developer or company who decide to design and put to work this type of product will surelly have a lot of profit!

So, if you are a Developer, this is a good project for you to think about!

i was thinking about that for a while, Core can come with a login and password instead of creating a passphrase for your wallet plus 2fa google authenticator

so in the event that your computer is compromised you still have the google protection
