I think 2 factor authentication is just another way to wrench privacy from users. If it's an option, fine, but I should have the ability to forget my password and be locked out of my account forever if I want to.

That's exactly how I've been using Hexbear since its conception. This account is a couple months old and when there's an update I'll be locked out forever, just as I've done 5-6 times before.

Don't need an email for this website. If I forget the password to this account, then oh well
