Topic: Two Factor Authentication On Bitcointalk (Read 218 times)
As I understand, it's too difficult to integrate into current version of SMF.
Not only do I believe you're right, it probably is too difficult or too risky to integrate into the forum in it's current state, but there is already an endless sea of "Account lost" threads, where people reset their passwords and lose their accounts, simply forget their passwords or goof their recovery questions. I think that until we have a decent solution for these people, adding 2-FA will only serve to exacerbate this problem. Then, you have to consider that even allowing user stats, images, new-tab and other features have proven to be security flaws to be exploited; I'm assuming that 2-FA would be no different.
This forum is not short of malicious users, and anything that can be used to lock, access or block your access will be pushed to the limits.
In the context you describe, being tricked into logging into a fake site, this would not help either. You would simply use your 2-FA to log into their proxy, they would forward this input to the real forum and then be logged into your account just as easily.
T-FA is fine Theymos-Factor Authorization

After new forum improvements like merit, scammers trying to steal Bitcointalk passwords, as the profiles are more valued. I was looking for information in google trying to reach bitcointalk some post, but i found a copy of bitcointalk and was wondering why i'm not logged in. I was thinking to log in, but was surprised that i'm not on real bitcointalk.
Would be great to have an 2FA on Bitcointalk. What do you think about that?

If you would use search function, you would find many threads about 2FA. It was said that 2FA wont be added to current version of forum. As I understand, it's too difficult to integrate into current version of SMF. Probably some kind of 2FA will be added only to New Forum software After new forum improvements like merit, scammers trying to steal Bitcointalk passwords, as the profiles are more valued.
