I want to add 2Fa to my Account.

[Agbe]

Is it possible for me to add 2fa (2-Factor Authenticator) to my account so that I can make extra security for my account? And if it is possible I will like the admin ot anyone who knows were to set up the 2FA to show me. I have checked if I can see it at the profile setting but I could not and that's is why I am bringing it to the public. If the feature is there please show me and if it is not there, no problem. Thanks.

You can not add 2FA. This forum does not support it. If you want to have extra security to your account, you can stake your bitcoin address or altcoins address somewhere on this forum. Use a strong password.

It would be good if this forum supports 2FA.

The forum currently doesn't support Two - factor authentication. It's quite easy to confirm if it does or not. And to do that you don't really have to go through the stress of going through your profile settings in search of a  two factor authentication checkbox to turn on.
When you try logging in to the forum the login page only has a space for password and your username then a checkbox  for how long you want to stay logged in. If admin added a  two factor authentication it will display on the login page regardless if you have setup yours or not.

I sure you must have noticed similar thing before Theymos added a 2FA feature on bitcoin talk

A good alternative while 2fa is not implemented is to use the topic Stake your address.

When you post your address and sign a message with it, you are showing a cryptography proof that you own that account. 

If someone hacks you, you can just sign the message again proving that you are the original owner.

I dont think here on the forum, such has been in use, however, i will advise that you follow the advise given by bitmover in staking your address here, with that, no one can have access to claim your account except they were able to proof its ownership through the address used by you, they will have to sign a message, then in other to make yourself more safe, avoid anything that will compromise your account from within and outside the forum.

Okay thanks for the alternative solution for the second security of an account. I will do that now to protect the account. And I think the signing of message can only be done in laptop and not in mobile phone? And if is only in laptop then I can't do it now because my laptop has an issue to fixed and the fault can't be fixed in my local repairers so they have to send for the part outside state to waybill it to them before fixing the problem. Therefore I have to wait. _act_ thanks too.

You can sign a message using a mobile wallet too.

I recommend that you use coinomi. They are back to make updates, it is a multicurrency wallet but the bitcoin implementation is very good.

I will also add that you have to save the backup  of your seed phrase, in case you lose your phone  (even if you don't have money there, because you need the private keys to sign a message and prove that you own the account)

[joniboini]

If I remember it correctly, you can also use BlueWallet to sign/verify a message on your phone. It's not that difficult since the option is quite easy to find (at least that was the case when I tried the app). Alternatively, I recall seeing somebody recommend Electrum to do the same thing. Both of them are open source so you can build the app on your own if you want to. CMIIW.

it seems like this is a code from the OP to include 2fa feature in the upcoming update list for this forum... lol.. but this suggestion is also good, because 2fa means a better layer of security...

we all know that the existence of the menu in this forum is not difficult, and even if you really look for 2fa it must be in the login settings, right? and when it is not found, it means the feature does not exist

we are all very familiar with 2fa, and if you do not find it in the security settings, it means it does not exist

Indeed, there is no and it is not yet available, the use of 2FA also provides more security.
But in addition to 2FA, it is also important to use CAPTCHAs to avoid bot logins that can happen.

Because the next forum has also used CAPTCHA for a better level of security.

Bot attacks and 2FA attacks are quite different by nature. Unlike most 2FA applications, a user cannot opt out of CAPTCHA. It can also get annoying to access the forum with ToR if CAPTCHA is turned on. I guess it can be a decent option if the forum gets flooded with traffic and distinguishing legitimate users from botnet is much more difficult. CMIIW.

op, use a password manager to ensure that you don’t forget or lose your passwords especially you are going to need to use a strong or something unique to make sure no one can easily access your account we also click on a lot of links in this forum when interacting (whether it is to verify news or check out a platform) so make sure your software is updated and has strong security features beware of phishing and avoid interacting with spam messages

[bhadz]

Admin has made a thread  in our local asking about improvements and any features of the forum that needs to be done and I think this is a good suggestion and soon this thread he'll see it. And wait until he makes some adjustment and updates about having a 2FA feature for our accounts.

I actually remember that I opened my first topic in this forum with this request for adding two factor authentication. However, many reputable members expressed their opinion that it was a very early request, but I have not seen anyone disagree. - https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=314570.msg1461114#msg1461114
Now, it has been more than 10 months since that request, but I have not seen any activity on the altcointalk forum regarding the two factor authentication implementation, so Still we can't use or add two factor authentication to this altcointalk forum account.

At least there is special security so that the forum cannot be abused.
Bitcointalk forums have also been implementing CAPTCHAs for a long time because they are aware that the use of Bots to penetrate or anything else is done by rogue users.

Now Altcointalk is becoming popular and requires a door that is given additional security and of course there are some rules that need to be implemented, to increase the layered security.
