First, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you and the entire team for creating such a wonderful tool that empowers millions to pursue their dreams and create their apps/businesses without coding.
I am writing to express my concern regarding the absence of two-factor authentication (2FA) in Adalo. Given the increasing number of cybersecurity incidents, hacks, and data breaches, it is crucial to have this security feature. It is frightening that we still do not have it. Could you please let us know if 2FA for app developers’ admin accounts is on the roadmap and if it might be implemented soon?
I believe this is an essential feature that many solutions already offer, and it would greatly enhance the security of our projects.
I am making an app for a finance company and they require 2FA to secure their data. I can make a version of 2FA for the app - but the database is obviously visible in my Adalo builder. I therefore can’t promise to protect their data within my developer account.
Anything on the roadmap for this ? @David@james.crennan , 2FA for admin accounts? SOC2, GDPR? these are essentials for Adalo to grow beyond mobile app makers, huge potential…Please thanks.
@Senuoy at the moment we are 100% focussed on delivering speed and scale to Adalo Makers. I’ve just written an update for February here detailing our efforts.
2FA is no doubt a great addition to Adalo, but it is a lower priority right now than us delivering scale. We have a roadmap which we intend to move through over at Canny [here] (Feature Requests | Adalo) which allows Makers to vote on features. As you can see, we’ve quite a lot to get through, but I encourage you to add 2FA here.
After we boost speed and enable any datasource to be used in Adalo, we’re turning our attention back to these features
@james.crennan - I’d like to respectfully disagree with your priority on 2FA. Various cyber certifications, such as Cyber Essentials require 2FA. Cyber crime is on the rise. 2FA is a bare minimum for companies in 2025. I am very disappointed that it is not higher on your list, and for this reason I am actually looking to move away from Adalo because of your lack of 2FA. I love Adalo and everything you guys have done. But the lack of priority for base level security is incredibly concerning.
Hi all–we’ve a CISSP and graduate from a Master in Cyber Security from Brown University on our team, so we are extremely aware of security needs. Lydia, I agree with you that 2FA is extremely important combatting cyber threats.
The reason we’re not dropping everything on speed to handle 2FA is that if you use a basic password manager (teampassword.com or 1password.com) then that enables you to handle the 2FA component instantly for logging into Adalo. And, getting a password manager and making sure you passwords are all randomly generated alphanumeric characters with special characters and at least 16 characters long is arguably even more important than 2FA–and that’s what a password manager gives you.
I appreciate your feedback, but you can achieve 2FA instantly through this process.
Is Adalo going to get 2FA? Yes, but we are still speeding up apps first.
Greetings!
I’m running into problems when attempting an ios build. Initially, I thought it might have to do with not having a 2FA process in place. Thus, I added Adalo’s 2FA one-time password component to my app, created a ClickSend account, purchased a dedicated line for my CS account, and followed all instructions for configuring the component within Adalo. Yet, when testing the 2FA process in preview mode, nothing happens…I do not get a text message with a verification code, and I’m still unable to complete the build.
I read through the messages in this thread, which have prompted questions for me. You’ve stated that 2FA isn’t a top priority at this time, yet you’ve created the 2FA component and have made it available to users. Is the component just a “patch” to tide folks over while the team continues to work on a better solution? Or should the component be working correctly?
