A quick thought related to privacy and the trade-offs we make

I carry a mobile phone, as most people do, even though I just as well wear a personal tracking device - any interested party, NSA, CIA, DHS, FBI etc. could at any time pull records for my device and the triangulation data will fix my position to within about a square meter for any given time-stamp.

I've thought it all through, the pros & cons, and decided that for me personally it's a compromise I will need to accept in order to participate fully in the current phase of the 21st century.

Of course the founding principles of cryptoccurrencies call for anonymity and preservation of privacy, and adding 2FA to Prohashing is not going to trigger a fork in any of their blockchains to compromise that integrity ;)

the funny thing is, the fundamental though of privacy is lost when you think about it. try hopping on coinbase or an exchange to buy/sell coin. you have to upload your ID and all. IMHO no compromises are being made for 2FA that anyone hasnt already made in their day to day life. especially if youve traded or bought crypto.

yes exactly, that was pretty much my point with the mobile phone example
