For instance, 2FA is totally something that would strengthen security. But it would also cause more log in issues and maybe detract some people from joining Wikia. The more steps you put in the registration process, the more likely it is for someone to feel it's not worth it (and joining Wikia is worth it!) I wanted to make a reply on its own to point this out: this is disgusting and scary to read from official staff of such a massive website. So many services are using two-factor authentication now and they're far better off for it. 2FA would help massively on Wikia, and yet you guys think it would stop people from registration? Just don't make it mandatory. People would feel more secure knowing they can enable 2FA. I would highly suggest you guys reconsider your stance on adding security to your service, because the idea that you wouldn't add security that so many other websitse have already added is really scary.
