Hello there, this is a security/safety feature suggestion: as the modern world is not as safe as it used to be, it would be desirable for BW's website to offer, the opt-in ability for users to require successful 2FA using the TOTP 2FA standard, on each login.
That technique/technology is generic and lets you use any independent authentication application (see the list of such applications).
For example, Aegis on an Android phone or GNOME's Authenticator on a laptop (or Linux phone), etc.
The idea is simple: during your travels, if someone steals (or borrows) the laptop you use to log into the web interface, they would not be able to log into the BW website without also having stolen and unlocked your second device that has the 2FA, or vice versa. Or they might have to go through more steps, at least.
As BW is kind of like a social network or online identity, it might be desirable to be able to protect it that way, for those who feel confident about using this type of added security.
