It would be nice if you could enable 2FA per account additionally to the whole wallet. This way, a computer virus would not be able to quickly empty your account by sending away all funds after you logged in.

That can be done but won't increase the wallet security :P
2fa validation happens at the server but when a user logs in to his wallet he has his keys decrypted in his browser. A computer virus could bypass the 2fa by just stealing the keys 🤷‍♂️

Interesting. So for actual security there would need to be some 2-tiered system, but that would make the whole operation much more complex. Then the login would not decrypt the private keys and only get the list of accounts.
