Hey everyone! I created 2FA Notifier with my friend, Ray.

We noticed that many people enable 2FA after they realize the services they already use support it! So, we made 2FA Notifier [1], an open source web extension that notifies you when sites you visit support 2FA. Anytime you visit a site that supports 2FA, you'll get a notification. Click it to go straight to the docs that explain how to enable 2FA!

Let me know if you take it for a spin! Any and all feedback is helpful to improve the functionality and UX.

Shout with questions and I'll do my best to answer!

Nice idea! Will you add support for Firefox?
I am in the process of getting into the FF store as we speak! Stay tuned!
The extension is now accessible in the Firefox store [1]!

Please shout if there are any weird bugs in FF. I do test it in Firefox before publishing, but Chrome is my main browser so I catch things there more quickly.

I submitted 2FA Notifier to the FF store and got approved, but it still stuck in "Awaiting Review" state. This is my first time working with the FF store, so figuring things out as I go. If you've got any tips/resources/etc that might be helpful, shoot them my way!

I'll post here again once the extension is available to install via the FF store.

Great news. Was going to ask same question :)
Really love the idea! The extension is a bit buggy for me on facebook.com but otherwise seems to run smoothly.
I released an update that fixes the notification on www.facebook.com. Check it out and let me know what you think!
