Two-factor authentication would be a really great feature.

    Seconded, along with more access security in general - both the site/app as a whole, and within workflowy.

    Enabling touch ID and/or passcode support on the phone and iPad would be really helpful as well.

    Just bumping this thread.  I see this currently as the biggest problem with my (extensive) use of Workflowy.

    Although not guaranteed... we may certainly look into this in the new year... once we've got some major features released that we're currently working on!

    Login with Google would also be great, if it's faster to implement than native 2FA.

    Hi Roman,

    We did implement Google login a few short months ago but then had to roll it back unfortunately for several reasons. It may come back in the future... however, by and large, many folk were not enthused with the idea. Something to do with Google being evil...

    This is also my biggest current problem with Workflowy for me. Lack of 2FA is making me consider trying to find a way to migrate all my historical data + current note taking out of workflowy. (I'm dragging my heels because I love the product so much). 

    Login with Google would work as a substitute for me, too.

    P.S. Thanks for all your help with my account the other day, Frank! It was a life saver.

    Please consider and make sure that almost entire users are using Workflowy as a non work related and personal purpose note taking only or not.

    That may decides how we should meet requirement between multi factor authentication(topt, email otp) or just secondary password for page by page.

     

    As long as I put work related notes such as product roadmap, Upvote for this feature.

     

    p.s. Thanks for your great product.

    Ya, this is extremely quickly becoming extremely more important for me. I recently was victim of identity theft and want to lock up all my online life. This could be a dealbreaker for me, even though I've been building my external brain in WF since ~2012.

    Agreed, adding TFA would likely make me get Workflowy Pro - I've been waiting for it for years.

    Please add 2FA! This is a very important feature to folks who keep sensitive information in Workflowy.

    Unfortunately, our security policies already force me to use Workflowy very restrictive due to the lack of login security. I am afraid quite soon I am forced to migrate completely to another solution. I really cannot understand why such a self-evident feature is still missing. 2FA or an option to log in with any secure unified login service (Google is fine for me) would help.

    Fourthed Google being fine. It's a perfect solution, because it's easy to implement, and folks that don't want to use it can opt-out.

    If you come up with something better later, great. In the meantime, we need something, because NOT being hacked is the exception in 2020.

    Not that improved security should be withheld from anybody, but 2fa would be the addition that would make me willing to pay for a Pro account.  None of the current features incentivize me, personally.

    "Login with Google" wouldn't actually increase security. Actual multi-factor authentication through a one-time-password app—e.g. the open-source Aegis app or Google's Authenticator—would. I would love it if this could be prioritized

    I love LOVE Workflowy, but I had to abandon using it due to the lack of 2-factor auth. At this point, every other service that I use to store important information online is 2-factor authenticated, either by the service's own account system, or via Google login.

    But beyond the immediate security risk of single-factor login, I worry about what the lack of 2FA says about your service. At this point, the only reason you wouldn't have implemented 2FA is either because you're unable to do the work, or you don't understand why it's so important. Either way, it raises questions about what other, less obvious problems may be going on behind the scenes with Workflowy's approach to security and data stewardship.

    The information I store in Workflowy, my external brain is too important not to be SUPER SECURE. Lack of 2FA makes me wonder about the whole quality and maturity of your approach to security. These days 2FA, backup codes are a non-negotiable minimum.

    Two-factor authentication has been mentioned and requested for four years now. Please put this as a prioritized issue for the near future.

    Frank - just responding to this comment of yours from ~1 year ago:
    "Although not guaranteed... we may certainly look into this in the new year... once we've got some major features released that we're currently working on!"

    It doesn't make sense to me to be working on major features when this basic security functionality is not yet done. Please please please prioritize this highly - it's honestly bewildering that it's 2021 and you don't have 2 factor auth.

    Two-factor authentication or multi-factor authentication 2FA MFA. An absolute must. If this feature is not clearly on the roadmap, I am going to move to another service after paying for more than three years. Working with an authentication app (no SMS authentication, please) is critical.
