I used to hate it too. Now I understand the importance of security and believe 2FA should be required everywhere.

Used to agree to this, until it turned out that SMS basically doesn't work in rural areas.. Theoretically you can get a voice call with the code, but I've personally ran into instances where the 2FA voice call simply doesn't work on landlines. If we're going to do 2FA, it has to be something so universal anyone can do it. So far, I don't think we've achieved that. I think people have a right to access banking services, etc, and if 2FA doesn't work for them, we're deciding to ban them from using those services. Doesn't sit right with me.
