Is all Bitcoin software wallet provide 2FA feature which is provided by Google? I doubt about it.
This is what I am talking about, they should stop using google authenticator. Better ones like Aegis can be used.2FA is unnecessary on a wallet like Electrum. If you want the safety of multi-sig, then just set up your own multi-sig. It is safer and cheaper to do so, as well as giving you more redundancy in your back ups.
I like it that you said this for people to know that cold wallet and multisig is better and nothing like third party. But I am just saying that people should know about the present app update of google, that it will synchronize 2FA code to google cloud. This is how I created it before, but it was moved to off-topic. I only just look for ways it will be on a board that more people will visit. However, 2FA should be mandatory for any and all online accounts which use it. If you can, use a hardware key. If you can't, then use a good open source 2FA app such as Aegis for Android or Tofu for iOS. You should try to avoid any and all Google products under all circumstances - they are notorious for harvesting your data, they are generally closed source, poor security, and just love sending all your sensitive data to random servers around the world of "safe keeping". Google's 2FA app is no different. Avoid it.
This is what I want people to be aware of. Some people will save their username, password, 2FA code on google cloud, what then remain if such people's device are compromised.2FA may be on another device, but if it synchronized with google and the email used is on the device that has been compromised, all the hacker needs is to download google 2FA app and get access to the OTPs.
