      edit: take a look at my answer below for a better solution

      Hey, right now there's no favicon option.
      But you can upload a file called "favicon.ico" via ftp to the directory of your wordpress install. Browsers automatically look for the file http://www.yourwebsite.com/favicon.ico and then browsers use that file as the favicon.

          Can you visit your ftp? They may have a webftp or you could use filezilla. Then there should be a directory with the name of your website.
          If you can't find it, you can also wait until the next little update. Then I will include a favicon option.

            Hey, I just got a better idea! You can use this WordPress Plugin:
            https://wordpress.org/plugins/favhero-favicon-generator/

            That's probably the best solution. Because it supports favicons for many different devices and sizes! :+1:

              Hey!
              With the latest wordpress and lay theme version you don't need a plugin anymore. You can set your favicon like this:
              Go to "Customize" -> "Site Title" -> "Site Icon"!

                @arminunruh how can I clear the favicon from my cache?
                I've deleted it, but it still shows up in my browser...

                  Browsers tend to take a long time to update favicons even if you delete your cache.

                    For cross browser compatibility, seems to be needed two lines for for favicon:

                    <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" />
                    <link rel="icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/favicon.ico" type="image/ico" />
