I have detailed Erik about the 2-factor authentication already. Please read all the comments..
If you are talking about wp-admin security.. you can always ask your hosting support to enable or tel the way to do.

I think that this should be among the priorities for any internet business owners,
even more if it's generating a good amount of money.
A part of the revenue should be reinvested into security.

That's not good for your business. I have recently read some very good eye opening articles on Smart TVs becoming the new target for cyber criminals, New malware program PoSeidon targets point-of-sale systems, and Stealing Data From Computers Using Heat written by Azgad Security. I even put a link to them on my Skype Hack Recovery ebook page. Its important!
We really must take the time to protect ourselves and our followers. Period!

By the way, if you go to my blog's wp-admin you will see, I have locked access to wp-admin directory using server security. That is also a kind of 2 step authentication :-)

Indeed, a good security strategy.
Going to enable it on Gmail, and for any other accounts that allow this system.

For example, I have set 2-factor authentication to my google account. Whenever I enter my credentials, it sends a code on my personal mobile phone.
Then, I need to enter that code there on the login page in order to log in.
So, even if someone steals my password, he cannot log into my google account without my phone.

Can you elaborate an example of 2-factor authentication?
