I find it shocking that Counterwallet still does not offer 2FA for login. I'm sure many possessors of LTBc would be happy an additional layer of security to their tokens.

What is the best way to petition/pressure them into adding this feature? Is there a reason it hasn't been implement yet?

  Yes I also requested this a while ago but nothing happened since. Don´t know exactly why they believe 2FA is not necessary.

  I agree 2FA should be implemented, I have fear that my counterwallet account can be hacked easily.

  This would be a nice feature to have, but it seems it would need a bit, considering CounterWallet doesn't store any personal information, such as name, email or phone.

  I don't think it would be possible to enable 2FA, atleast it would be a lot harder to implement.

  What I learned: What is commonly known as 2FA is actually a centralized service, and Counterwallet is meant to be decentralized (just like Bitcoin itself).

  Multi-sig is being implemented into Counterwallet in the future. This will act as a decentralized 2FA. You will then be able to set up 2-of-2 addresses to additionally secure your funds.

  It was so easy to sign up I loved it. The ever moving target of security is in process all the time. Part of the evolutionary survival of the fittest.
