 * I’v been interested in 2 step veification for a while, and as wordpess.com released
   a 2 step authentication for their website in mid 2013, I have been hoping that
   wordpress would make 2 step authentication part of the multisite core, rather
   than use a plugin. Does anyone know if WordPress plans on adding this in the 
   near future.
 * Also the google authenticator plugin was great when I was using a singe install
   of wordpress, however for a multisite, I wanted one similar on wordpress.com,
   that has a variety of steps, and backup codes that google authenticator doesn’t
   offer. With google authenticator a user only has to tick the activate box in 
   their profile, then click save, then there is no way for a user to log in without
   the authentication code.
 * I’ve noticed that wordfence and ithemes security offer a paid option for this
   feature, does anyone also have any suggestions for the best two-step authenticator
   for multisite.

 * Works great on Multisite 🙂 You can create A single ‘code’ to get in, but there
   isn’t a backup system that I know of for WP at all.
