How Can I enable 2-factor at OpenTrade exchange?

I am new here. finally got in with Yahoo email. But I could not find the setting for google 2 factor setup. Most exchange require that for security on login or/and
withdraw/depost. Does OpenTrade support this security feature?

No. OpenTrade does not using google 2 factor.
Instead, to process withdraw, we send a confirmation email.

For now it is OK with email confirmation because the exchange is small and volume is light. However, I do believe in the long run in order for OpenTrade exchange to be viable, 2-factor on sign/withdraw/deposit is must for
a crypto exchange. Security risk is too high for users without 2 factor.

I do not agree with this.
Email confirmation work same as 2 factor and can be used instead it. As I know, big exchanges has worked long time without 2 factor (btc-e, exmo) and no one had big problems with it.

I found this closed issue in github:
https://github.com/3s3s/opentrade/issues/6

I just commented in github:

It appears that 2factor like Google Auth is not implemented, kzv is not convinced of 2 factor so that this will not be implemented soon and this feature is not in the top list of opentrade core devs.

However, I still believe this is must for a serious exchange. Most exchanges do have 2-factor choice there. I hope someone can come and implement this feature for openTrade. Let's leave this issue open here.

Let's leave this conversation open and hopefully this feature will be implemented in the future.
