Technically, it isn't really two factor auth, yet. The name hints at things to come :-) Maybe soon, as I've been working on it lately. Right now, it is just single factor. 

It's mainly designed for users creating their own accounts. The idea being anybody can create an account, but until they have the right roles, they won't be allowed to do much with it.

I definitely plan on walking through this in detail at WOWODC. The basic flow is user create, email user with confirmation link, user clicks link, user is activated and can log in.
