2. Two factor authentication is bullshit anyway.

Like, just because I’m trying to access my email from my sister’s computer I’m locked out awaiting two factor authentication, which they want to send to my phone even though I have correctly entered my password. However, my phone is dead or left at home, so I can’t get in my email. The other authentication option offered is to send an email - to another account that I’ll be locked out of. I’m a public librarian and this scenario plays out almost daily with patrons. 😡
