  A lot of people won't/don't understand the technical jargon of the TOTP standard, etc., but the additional security for your account should be understandable to everyone. Many people don't use strong passwords. As a retired senior web application architect for a Fortune 50 company, let me assure you that it's incredibly easy to hack the majority of people's passwords. WA *needs* this.

  Yes if it is opt in. Would I personally opt in? Probably not if I'm honest as I only use WA on machines at home and consider an account hack unlikely (if never quite impossible) and I'm happy to balance the risk against the convenience. But it's not all about me and I absolutely understand why some people want it.

  It would be nice to have the option for Multi-Factor Authentication. Rather it be with the Google Authenticator (which would be my preference) or otherwise. It shouldn't be a requirement to use and/or make an account. But I think the option of more security is always a good thing no matter what, as long as you can still opt out if you want to.

  Please yes, and the more options the merrier (time-based with backup codes, email, etc.).

  It's already a massive pain to log into WA from a tablet at a new location and many times I've had to just wing it anyway as I could not get the account to let me in. The shenanigans if my phone is dead will be unimaginable. At the very least, add it inside the account if someone wants to make billing changes, but not just getting into the editor.

  If its opt in, then I'm down. Again its a hobby space for me. If someone got in here, since I only ever do this or open WA in my own residence that means it'd be someone I had in my home. So I'd just knock some heads til someone fessed up, and make em cough up whatever the new login was, login, chance it back, and then exile them from my life forever. So I wouldn't use this, and wouldn't want to be forced to.

  My WorldAnvil account has hundreds of thousands of words of lore, information, and content all conveniently arranged. Losing it all to a bad actor would be an extremely sad state of affairs, so I would strongly approve of anything that makes it harder for bad actors to get access to my account.

  I read the proposal and understand that the MFA is suggested to be opt-in. I would opt in. Among other reasons, the added security appeals to me because I don't want WIP/draft content accessed without my explicit consent.

  As someone who uses WA as a part of my business, I would like to see this implemented. I do agree that opt-in would probably be the best as I understand for others it might just be annoying.

  While very similar to a recent made suggestion about upgrading security, I'll still throw some coins in as I'd very much like to see upgrades to login security to the site. TFA/MFA would be a pretty good opt-in feature, along with better email verification.

  This is very similar to another request that was just made about enhanced security. I genuinely don't think a fun, world-building/story-telling site like World Anvil should be gathering or requiring even more personal information about us than it already does. If these things are implemented, they should be opt-in.
