    You nailed it. Users cannot be trusted to not re-use login credentials.

    I know we all hate it, but proper 2-factor authentication via authenticator apps must be the default position for everything.

      I work in IT and don’t want to have to use annoying long passwords, so I’ve been team mfa for at least a decade now. I had physical code devices for SWOTR and FFXIV until I got a software one for the latter. I don’t play the former much but I still have a working physical key somewhere.

      In fact, I’m more annoyed when a service still uses texting your phone and no option to use a mfa app.
