Namecheap has 2FA.
It has a weird SMS-based TFA thing, not the far more widespread TOTP standard.
No weirder than the one used by Dyn or Paypal. Click a button, receive an SMS with a code, enter the code and login. Voila.

That doesn't make it non-weird. Obligatory Godwin, "meh, Hitler was no more horrible than Stalin or Pol Pot."

<shrugs> they don't feel weird to me, I like 2FA via SMS

Edit: enjoyed your godwin ref though ;)

Haha, thanks. My problem is that it takes a while sometimes, and it doesn't work when I'm out of the country. TOTP works everywhere all the time, though.
gandi.net has 2FA.
Gandi has 2FA? Huh, I have a name registered there and even looked for 2FA on their site. Guess I didn't look well enough. Thanks for the pointer!
godaddy has 2fa
name.com has 2FA
