My hot take is 2FA is ableist actually.

Oh an extra barrier to do a necessary task? Oh, repeatedly? Great job.

I hate 2FA because I was homeless and housing insecure for a while which led to me having multiple phone numbers, addresses, etc. that I couldn't keep track of once I was no longer using them, and 2FA often doesn't give you any alternative if you no longer have access to a phone # you used for it!!

Excitingly my current job makes you have to classify every email and every document as sensitive before you can send or save it. Manually. Every time. It does my head in
