But even doing all this, if bitcointalk forum gets somehow compromised or hacked again (happened before) someone can steal even our hardest passwords.
Can we expect to see some solutions for this issue in new forum software?
Maybe using 2FA, OTP or something else?
The previous hack on accounts was due to an SMF vulnerability exploited through the security question option, it has been disabled since then to prevent a repeat.
2FA has been suggested many times on the forum, but there has been no action taken regarding that, for now you could use it on accounts linked to your profile, such as your email address to prevent a breach. Also keep your email address private and do not share important links, such as your captcha bypass link.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to use simple passwords or same password for everything.
Simple password can be cracked instantly, so better use some offline password generator to mix all characters and generate password.
My suggestion is to use strong long passwords different for anything including Bitcointalk account, and make them hard to crack.
Never use same passwords more than once!
