93% of breaches occur due to successful phishing campaigns. 99% of those campaigns are unsuccessful if MFA is enabled. Think about that. Why would you want to leave your online protection to a single factor? With phishing-resistant MFA such as FIDO2 keys (YubiKeys) and authenticator apps, it’s impossible for adversaries to bypass those protections without your knowledge and actual involvement. Your mentality should be that you should be confronting any agency that DOES NOT offer MFA, because they’re putting your safety at risk.

Oh, I’m very glad to have it. My point was just that these days you often don’t choose to use it, it’s just a feature of those accounts.
