No one has said how you do 2-factor authentication with only one factor ...

I think this is the wrong forum - I think they do mean the browser - but I still don't get it.

As far as I know, two factors authentication is something implemented by the sites, that's why they are talking about the login at Opera account.

I have two factors authentication enabled in many sites and it works fine.

I was referring to the Opera account indeed, which can be in the Browser, on the website, etc. all being handled by the same authentication layer. A mobile sms confirmation code for unrecognized devices would be a good start.

Two factor authentication is now available. Please let me know if everything works as expected.

Where is MFA located? looking in the settings/preferences and also on the online Opera help I can't see anything at all for MFA?

Moved to Opera account area since it doesn't seem to be related to the browser itself.

This is indeed the browser itself I am referring too. When I say MFA I am referring to 2 factor authentication when you sign into Opera Syncronisation services, having only a password to protect all your other passwords/form fill information/websites etc. is very weak by todays standards.

The browser itself needs to have (the ability to choose to use at least) MFA enabled on the Syncronisation sign in option, not just a password.

@leocg This whole request of for MFA on the Opera syncronisation service not on websites themselves.
