Many major sites are now offering Two-factor Authentication to their users for better protecting their accounts against fraud, malicious activity and hacking. I think despite having some securities already, the utmost account protection should be in place and held important just as maintenance of the bot itself is.

For those that aren't familiar with Two-factor Authentication:

"Two-factor authentication provides unambiguous identification of users by means of the combination of two different components. These components may be something that the user knows, something that the user possesses or something that is inseparable from the user." - Wiki

This way an extra layer of protection will be placed over all users who choose to take advantage of two-factor auth and also keep the general community safer from those with malicious intent. Perhaps all staff+ and verified members (VMM/verified traders) should be required to have two-factor auth.

Thoughts?

There was already a suggestion for a two-step-authenticatior which got denied.
