Why don't phones support 2FA?

Phones could allow much higher security if they supported 2 factor authentication. This could be face/fingerprint along with a typed or swiped password. This seems like a simple solution that leverages software that is already implemented. Just make it an added option in addition to the existing ones.

Rhynoplaz,

Do you want to check your email for a code to unlock your phone?

Lmaydev,

I don’t really get what you mean by 2fa here. Do you mean asking for biometrics and a password to unlock a phone?

intensely_human,

I’m guessing yes?

This could be face/fingerprint along with a typed or swiped password
