Regardless of Linode's previous screwups, I welcome this change and I hope more hosting companies to offer 2-factor authentication soon.

For anyone installing the Linode's recommended Windows App "Authenticator", WARNING, it does not work! I was locked out! I then used the Microsoft's Authenticator app to find the right token.

Do not logout without verifying it works first in an incognito mode. Better yet, save the secret key temporarily to your PC.
