For the record (IT Guy here) I set up the 2FA with Authy, which is another 2FA app.
For people on the fence: it is is EXTREMELY difficult to circumvent Multi-Factor Authentication and you should do this on all of your accounts, especially if you use same password on all of those accounts (very bad practice). They get one, they get all.
If you have not used 2FA before, you should start, really.

There is no real excuse for not activating 2 factor authentication for your own protection and that of your follow TRF members to make this community more secure.
