Do you like to enable two-factor authentication for your website so that your user accounts are better protected? At Discussion Hub, we only force staff members to enable 2FA. I believe users are able to set it up if they want to but I haven't checked
 
I use it on all important accounts and all staff accounts.
 
I don't enforce it, not everyone likes it and I've seen where it can fail at times.
Wouldn't you be worried about the damage someone could do though if they gain access to one of your staff member's accounts?
 
I feel that all staff should have it enabled, but as far as members, no, not unless they truly want it.

This is why daily and hourly backups are vital & very important.

If anything ever occurs, you can roll back your forum and use a backup.
 
I like my staff to have 2FA enabled to ensure main accounts are protected. Users can enable it if they wish to, but if you force it on people, they won't use the forum / software again.

I enabled two-factor authentication for all my accounts on forums. I use Google authenticator for my 2FA. It's better to be safe than sorry.
