I happened to purchase a new domain the other day and decided to try a free trial of the domain registrar's hosted email. Easy to set up, not bad webmail, inexpensive, but no 2-factor authentication. It got me to thinking how 2FA is an absolute must-have in today's email world. Then I started looking around and I noticed a fair number of other services lack 2FA. Migadu email is one that has interested me and I might be willing to give it a whirl, but it lacks the basic, required functionality of 2FA. Outside of email I would never dream of using an ATM card that didn't include PIN protection, or an investment or bank account without 2FA. Email is of similar security importance. What are these companies thinking?
