    I think for email it’s essential, it’s critical that someone doesn’t make it into your email. Otherwise they can reset all your other passwords.

    I have mfa on my account but I just click a checkbox after first time to not ask again. I’m still protected by it and don’t have to do anything until I clear my cookies (which I don’t for email).

      I think they’re thinking of TOTP noy being the standard, where you’d just pull out your totp app and paste it without waiting

        Precisely, my brain just completely forgot the term for it and after minutes of not being able to remember for the list of my I just loosely described it. TOTP is exactly what I meant.
