Along with all the hype about the heartbleed bug, I've been reading a lot of posts and articles that recommend (amongst other things) to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to all services that support it.
In general, having 2FA greatly increases your security, since you credentials are not bound to just a username/password pair (something you know), but also rely on something you have (a phone to receive text messages or a device/application that generates one-time tokens).
Is this the panacea and the solution to the heartbleed problem?
