There have been times where our webmail installation has been targeted 
by distant IPs trying to send spam email using compromised user 
accounts. Of course a big part of preventing this from happening is 
educating our users on password safety, expiring weak passwords in 
favor of newer, stronger passwords, etc. We're working hard on that, 
but until the time where our users passwords are 100% strong, safe, 
and secure (i.e. never), we'd appreciate additional tools to help 
prevent or at least mitigate these risks.

One of the options that came to mind was support for 2-factor 
authentication on the login screen. We would prefer if users could 
somehow opt-in to 2-factor authentication so that not every user would 
have to learn how to use it at once. If a per-user opt-in system is 
not possible or not practical, than an all-or-none approach would be 
fine too. My initial preference would be for Google Authenticator 
support, but other options might be just as good or better.
