Does anyone know if spark uses or intends to use any form of two factor authentication on any of their services, in particular their email service (Xtra-Mail). I have tried phoning them but nobody i speak to seems to understand what 2FA is.

Spark is always doing advancements in the security offered for xtramail.

 

 

 

I'll mention it to those that look after it

This is spark we are talking about, there's no money in it for them

99.5% of xtramail users would be 100% bamboozled by 2FA .

 

So, would they add 2FA for .5% of users , on a free email service they care so little about
