Has anyone checked out bitauth? It's created by the guys behind bitpay, one of bitcoin's biggest payment processor companies.

What do you think about possibly implementing an option bitauth 2FA solution?
It's pretty cool IMO.

The more techy aspects went right over my head but it looks like a nice idea, bit more secure than the log in through Fb system currently used. At this point I don't find the security to be any real issue, however, thinking long term it would certainly be useful for large organizations or if Loomio becomes a political tool, where you would want certainty that the polls were not getting hacked/manipulated.

We have implemented authentication systems for clients as a paid service. It's something we'd like to include in core functionality someday, but we're unlikely to get to it this year. If a developer wants to scope it out and potentially build it, we'd be open to the idea... something you're interesting in taking on @cryptoindex ?

Can't say i'll be successfull, but i'll give it a bash once I wrap my head around how loomio works :)
