PARTIAL
Obsidian itself doesn't need 2FA since it's a local app. But your Obsidian account (for Sync/Publish) does support 2FA.
What We Found
We checked this in April 2026 and here's what we found โ Since Obsidian is a local app that stores files on your device, there's no login required for basic use. However, if you use Obsidian Sync or Publish, your Obsidian.md account supports two-factor authentication via authenticator apps to protect your sync data.
Limitations
- โ ๏ธ Only applicable to Obsidian account (Sync/Publish users)
- โ ๏ธ Local vault has no built-in encryption or access control
