2fa would strengthen newsblur’s security on user accounts. Hope it is implemented eventually.

Eventually, sure, esp. when we start having pro accounts that cost a bit more. I could see 2FA being a feature on:

I don’t think it’s a very good position to have security be a paid feature. MFA was more novel in 2013, but it’s seen as standard now, and there are many more options for prewritten implementations. Hopefully this can be reconsidered.
