"Two-step verification at login -- user name/pw, then a code from the text msg the system sends to the user's mobile phone. NOT email,

Do that and I'm outta here. I hate that crap.

And it is ridiculous to have it on a non-finance related - non-business site where criminals can steal money or product.

Typically it’s OPTIONAL for sites like this. For people who know a simple PW is not secure and prefer to keep their account and history without it being hacked.

For those that don’t care...they don’t have to use it.

Surely you don’t object to those that want more security for THEIR account do you? As long as it doesn’t impact you and your simple ID/PW method, right?

I mean I probably won’t do 2 factor on FR either. But offering it would be nice.
