Announcing MyKDE

[Shinjo Park]

Just my 2 cents, on the 2FA registration page I wish there should be tools 
other than Google Authenticator listed. Not only tools for other platform 
(e.g. Plasma Mobile - do we have one? Sailfish, iOS, ...) but also F/OSS in 
Android. At least there is Aegis [1] on F-Droid which seems to be an actively 
developed free replacement of Google Authenticator.
