MAJOR UPDATE!!!

Lichess.org offers 2FA! This means lichess is far superior to chess.com in terms of security, despite chess.com being a paid site. I suggest that chess.com implement 2FA very soon in order to keep up with the (free) competition.

As far as I'm aware there are still no plans to add the feature.

According to a forum post I saw, Lichess only offers two factor security for cell phone users.

PC users without cell phones are unable to sign up for it. but receive "unending requests to enable two factor authenification..."

The forum post I read said that Lichess doesn't offer functional support, so the many people who have problems with it are on their own.

/ Sounds like the kind of hassle that most people gladly do without.

I use linux, but i enabled 2FA, so, i dont know how it is "only for phone users". Plus, that would still be better than chess.com's method. which is nothing.
