    0.18.0 that released today introduces TOTP-based 2fa.

    New support for two-factor authentication. Use an app like andOTP or Authenticator Pro to store a secret for your account. This secret needs to be entered every time you login. It ensures that an attacker can’t access your account with the password alone.

    Some server operators may defer the upgrade until 0.18.1 when captchas are back in place, as they were the only line of defense against bot signups on open (non application-based) instances that don’t require an email address/validation.

    Captchas are not available in this version, as they need to be reimplemented in a different way. They will be back in 0.18.1, so wait with upgrading if you rely on them.
