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!) With all due respect, nonsense. In that case, make it an option, and present it only in preferences. That is what GitHub, Google, Slack and every other service out there does.

"To be clear, I am certainly not saying that 2FA is not an option or shouldn't be considered. I was simply trying to choose one example that each security measure we implement does have a cost, both in terms of implementation and in terms of barrier of use, to each and every user. Adding it as an optional preference is a fine idea and one we have been and will be actively discussing."
