Quick and Dirty Decred Setup Instructions
Setting up Decred on Linux (Assuming using Ubuntu)
Step 0 – Username and Passwords
You will need usernames and passwords to secure your applications.
I suggest you just bang on your keyboard and select two sets of 16-20
characters of random text. Pick one to be a user the other to be a pass.
It really doesn’t matter. You will be storing them in config files
so you don’t need to remember them.

Two Factor Authentication (2FA) Abstract

Passwords Don’t Work: Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to the Rescue!

The Internet is a dangerous place and user passwords aren’t safe. You have done everything right but it’s only a matter of time before your users’ secrets are exposed. How are you supposed to protect your site and your customers’ accounts? Two Factor Authentication adds a second easy to use but hard to break layer of security to your services.

In this session you will learn the basics of Two Factor Authentication, examine the pros and cons for common methods of implementation, see several demos of 2FA in action and discover best practices to deploy it in your own systems using 3rd party libraries and services.
