  If email is easier to implement email then I would rather have that sooner then waiting for google authenticator.

  I'd be more interested in offering a blockchain enabled 2fa solution to be honest.

  If a user chooses to set up the system, they indicate a bitcoin (or dogecoin, whatever) address they control. Whenever they want to login, the system generates a new verification address shown only to them, they send a dust tx to it and as soon as it hits the network (no confirmations) they're allowed in.

  +1 for 2-factor log in. You could also consider implementing a decentralized login using something like BitAuth.

  Ambitious idea, but in regard to LTB/LTBc I'm not sure it's best at least now. The value over Google Auth (a decentralized solution requiring no network capabilities at all, at least for your phone) is low. Given that there must be a huge list of features that will provide more value to the end user, I would rate this variation rather low on the list.

  Maybe you're already aware of this but there are a couple of implementations of blockchain auth:

  I forget the name of the other one, but I think bitid is the most widely used.

  @blockchainfeed @IvanB 2FA on your email is important as well. Cheers.

  @blockchainfeed, I second on that
