Steemit - Google Authenticator / 2 - STEP VERIFICATION / What do you say?
SAFETY.
The Internet security in these times is the most important thing, especially when about money it treats , steemit has had a few days ago a safety update and I would like to contribute a new idea, one has spoken in several post of the topic, but there is something that still has not been commented or at least I have not seen it.
There might be implanted in steemit the Google Authenticator - 2 STEP VERIFICATION?
Personally I use it in my wallets, pages of transactions, etc. And I think that it is a great form of safety, it might be implanted for every access to the page, or simply for Steem's movements or steem dollars, and would be a totally optional option for the user, being able to use her or not.
What is Google Authenticator or 2 - STEP VERIFICATION?
It is a safety option by means of which, when you want to accede to a page, beside depositing your user and password, he asks you for a number of 6 digits, East number of 6 digits is generated by the google authenticator which will be installed in your mobile and associated with your account of steemit, the principal characteristic of this program is that not only it generates a number of 6 digits, generates a number of 6 digits that it is changing every 30 seconds, for what the code that gives you in the revenue, spent 30 seconds stops being useful.
Explanation for photos for if it has not remained clear.
1- Access.
Step 1 - Login
Step 2 - 2 Step Verification.
Step 3 - Enjoys Steemit safely.
2- How would Google Authenticator link himself with steemit?
Once installed Google Authenticator in your mobile:
- Access to the option " Configurate Account "
- Once inside " Scan bar code "
- In steemit would be the option to activate " 2 Step Verification " which would give the bar code to scan us.
- Once scanned already we have linked Google Authenticator and Steemit for our safety.
If you are interested in them here I make you someone of my last ideas contributed to steemit.

Exactly! That has to be the next step to increase the steemit security. I hope @dan will see this :)
I hope that they see it and consider it, believe it might multiply the safety.
Great IDEA And this would help increase our security Big TIME!
I would like to see this implemented
me too! :)
I was considering getting a Trezor for password management. How do you think that compares to 2FA?
I think that they are very different things, trezor is a physical portfolio to guard your coins, and google authenticator is for the safety of your account in general.
Yes, I know it's a hardware wallet...but they also built in a bada$$ password manager. https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-user/passwordmanager.html
Thank you! It seems that it knew by half the device, I am going to investigate
:)
YES YES YES YESSSSSSSSS this is what I have been trying to get them to do for days. I want google authentication on logins and both email and google authentications on withdrawals.
To anyone looking to set up 2FA to protect their Steemit account, please refer to my guide on using LastPass + Duo https://steemit.com/steemit/@robrigo/security-how-to-how-anyone-can-avoid-losing-access-to-their-steemit-account-with-lastpass-and-duo
