the pros:
more secure . it is obvious when it is harder to login it make it more secure too . you need to authenticate twice instead of only using password but

the cons
you can easily lose access . for example i used to lost qcces to few 2fa sites because my phone bricked and the google authenticator isnt recoverable . or you lost the phone number/email .

Another pro would be the fact that each user has the option to either use it or not. So those who don’t want it can simply not use it... and those who do want it can use it... as simple as that!

And I absolutely agree about your con of losing access. That’s exactly why I initially suggested adding sms support as well. Lost your authenticator app? Just use ur phone through sms! Lost your phone number? Just use the authenticator app! Plus, if u lose access to the authenticator app, you can’t really recover it. But you can easily get a new SIM for the same phone number from your provider. However, SMS 2FA is out of the books now considering the cost behind it.

I initially thought Authy let’s you recover your keys through sms like a user mentioned above... but dynamo later on confirmed that it does come at a price... very disappointing.
