Pi Network’s Mandatory 2FA Sparks User Frustration Amid Mainnet Migration Challenges

Pi Network faces growing user backlash as its Core Team implements compulsory two-factor authentication (2FA) for wallet access during the ongoing Mainnet migration. The project, which finally launched its long-awaited Mainnet in February 2025, now requires Pioneers to complete security verification before transferring tokens—a process many users describe as unnecessarily complex.

Community outrage escalated following the team's July 25 announcement that incomplete 2FA setups WOULD permanently block Mainnet access. While the solution appears straightforward—activating 2FA through Pi Browser's wallet settings—multiple user reports indicate systemic technical issues. One Pioneer reported completing verification months ago without resolution, underscoring the platform's operational challenges during this critical transition phase.
