I believe that two factor authenticator is needed especially in something as plex where someone can delete your library and or gain access to sensitive picture (picture of your kids and family or such) if the password is compromised in some way,

There are two possible implementation:

1: Authentication via email, By accessing from an unknown device and or network you get an email with a link inside to ‘‘authorise’’ this new address,

2: (Preferred) Use of a classical TOTP via software (e,g google authenticator or similar)
