[All Platforms][Other] 2-Factor Authentication

[ThomasVH]

Spotify should, as a matter of good practice and safety, implement 2-step authentication.

Previously, Spotify enabled the option to log out other sessions other than the current session.

This would prevent hackers from stealing accounts, which would additionaly lead to less account hacks and less work for Spotify employees to assist in these cases.

Any update to this suggestion would be great. Are there any reasons Spotify would not support 2-factor authentication?

Just wanted to add my voice to this request. Yubikey U2F support would be greatly appreciated as well.

 Yes, I wanted to add my feelings regarding 2 step authentification. Yubikey U2F woud be an additional bonus. If facebook and twitter can do so, then so can spotify.I dont sign in via facebook and would not want to just to get the extra protection. Any apps and Gramafon should be supported.

Google's autheticator would remove the need for spotify to develop from scratch and would be great to have. Got 2 step set up where I can, I think Microsoft even uses Google.

2 step verifications is a must have for a service like Spotify.

[grey-lantern]

Make it so.

I just got hacked and then hacked once again after resetting my password. This 2 step needs to happen.

Any updates on this? This is a fantastic idea.

My account wouldn't have been stolen if I 2FA were available for spotify auth. Please reconsider adding it as a potential way to protect our accounts.

bump. 2FA and even email change confirmation link would have protected me from my credentials which were breached elsewhere (not from Spotify) from being used here. Yes, I realize I could have used a different password, but we all tend to use a few common passwords and don't admit we need 2FA to protect (And annoy) but save our butts from our accounts being taken over after being breached.
