Two step authentication

    I was wondering something about the two step login. I don’t have a cellphone and I wouldn’t even want one. I read you have to own something for the second step. Why? What you own can be stolen or be lost. I think it gets way to complicated. Instead, why doný you just send a code to the e-mailadres on the moment you log in. If some one manages to get through the first step, they couldn’t login also because they don’t have acces to the code. And when you check your e-mail you can see that some one tried to acces your account because the code was send to your e-mailadres. That’s why the code should be send on the moment you log in. If you send a new code right after logging in, you can’t see it when some one tried to log in. So that’s my thing, why not use, or ad, the existing e-mailadres as another option?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
