2 Factor Authentication

I feel like I’ve been saying this everywhere, but it’s an important security feature.
In fact, I wouldn’t call this a feature request, but rather a requirement for anything that has user accounts and sensitive data.

The request is simple: Add an optional 2FA option to account pages.

2FA helps prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to account and their servers by using keyloggers and/or phishing. Which, especially since Plex has introduced to upload pictures and videos made on mobile phones directly to the plex server, seems like a big potential privacy issue.

Being a developer myself I know this isn’t too hard to implement, in fact, for pretty much every programming language a library / class exists to ease the implementation of this. Most even generate a QR code if the proper extensions are installed for image generation, all you need then is to add the pages for configuration, add some fields in the user table(s) and you’re set!

I asked for this back in 2015… we are now in 2019 and nothing has been done about this. Come on Plex get with it! 2FA is no joke to wait to implement these days!!
