[PENDING] 2 Factor Authentication
#12

Well Mybb don't have any 2FA Authentication for its users, to know more please checkout: https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/security/2fa/

We may can able to add a plugin but the plugins for this are outdated and may not work without customisation.


Regarding the SMS for OTP, its again not an option even if we have ability to integrate any sms api because there isn't any legit company which provides it for free and paying for the OTP is an overkill for our forum.

Why not use Authy for sms ?
Well I tried to do few searches and found out that even they don't provide the sms service for free, you have to buy their plan to able to get that feature.

So as long as there isn't any legit company which provides free global sms service along with its api, its a straight NO for sms feature sadly (which I don't think ever possible)

If 2FA ever comes, then it would be an optional feature just to be clear.

Though if users are conserned about hassle of putting otp each time you visit the forum, I don't think its necessary since mybb already keeps you logged in for longer time as long as you haven't logged the device out by yourself.
