@SHvFl, yes the account doesn't have sensitive information, but we do send the license keys when you win a giveaway via the Conversation system, and also members may have private conversations that they would not want someone else to read. The staff has 2-Step Verification enabled, however I think that because this is a forum based on security discussions it should be enabled by most members. This is the equivalent of a HIPS for your computer protection.
I get it's one time thing for a lot of time but still. To get my account you need to brute force me so good luck or hack the site. So the danger is minimal and the information i have on it are even less important.@SHvFl, yes the account doesn't have sensitive information, but we do send the license keys when you win a giveaway via the Conversation system, and also members may have private conversations that they would not want someone else to read.

The login process with the 2-Step Verification is very easy to do (for 30 days you will not be asked for a code again), and there is no reason in the world not to have it enabled. It's free, it's easy to use and it's an extra layer of protection.

Assuming you limit the tries for someone to guess the password with a timer and keep the forum on the latest version i am fine. So if i get hacked it's you to blame
Note to all. All important accounts should have 2-step on even if it's a hassle.

Make sure you save the backup codes in a secure place.
What's not sensitive or meaningless/useless to some can be the very opposite to others. Personal I actually care about some of my data and information on this forum and wouldn't like if that got it in the wrong hands.
No, I actually find it very easy and it's just a click away on my phone. I use it 24/7.

Another alternative is by using Cookie AutoDelete extension. It literally provides the same function as the built-in one but it has some QOL features which increase its usability. Been using it for quite a while and I really like it.
