Two-factor authentication when logging in

Brian Craig McKibben said: With all the personal data being stored under our user accounts, are there plans to enable two-factor authentication? (My preference is through an authentication app, but even SMS would be better than nothing.)

PLEASE implement two-factor authentication! This is now a cross-industry STANDARD for account security best practice.

Kindly implement two-factor authentication to improve security. It is quite easy to implement, as you can read here: https://www.site24x7.com/blog/two-factor-authentication-what-it-is-and-how-to-implement-it

@Soni33, why in any deity's name would you possibly want two-device hassleification on FamilySearch of all places?

And WHY do you put ANY personal information on living people? I add NOTHING to living people and, in fact, the only living people I have in my private space are relatives who want me to do family research for them. I have grabbed their photo off FaceBook to use as their Portrait, ONLY so I can take screen shots of their lineage and make it easier for them to see where they fit in. FamilySearch should not be used to document current day events such as births, weddings, Christmases or anything. I have not added most of my cousins or my husband's cousins. I have not added any spouses of cousins that are there, and certainly no children. If you want FamilySearch to have multi-factor authentication, you need to delete a bunch of stuff.
