 I missed it.  It didn't show up properly when I accessed the page.


I didn't miss anything.  I've been at the receiving end of 2FA before.  It has to be set up to have a choice in order for you to have a choice.  This happened at the end of last year with one of our sponsors, who set up a 2FA to apply universally.  I needed to submit a ticket for them to "opt" me out.

That hasn't happened before either.  

Correct.  2FA is in the same category too.  While I was going through this 2FA frustration last year, I did some research, and there are arguments against how supposedly safe it is supposed to be, which it isn't always.

Applying 2FA universally is a bad idea... so I understand where you got your bad experience from. What the sponsor did was quite wrong... 2FA should never be forced on all users... it should just be an option that’s off by default (which is what most companies/sites do).

And I understand that this has never happened before... but in my opinion, that doesn’t mean it will never happen. It’s like going out right now with zero protection and saying “I’ve never caught covid 19 before!”. Better safe than sorry! 

And according to my research, mybb has 2FA built-in... just needs to be enabled... so this isn’t even a hard thing to implement considering that all you need to do is enable it.

The SMS 2FA codes though would be a challenge... but that idea can be abandoned.
